Podcast Synopsis:<\/h3>\n

Colby Brin<\/strong> joined eHealth Radio to talk about him being the <\/strong>co-founder and director of DateMySingleKid.com<\/strong><\/a>, the innovative online dating website which allows FabOverFifty (FOF) moms to play matchmaker for their adult children. Unlike other dating sites, whose members interact and make their own matches, DateMySingleKid.com<\/strong> connects FOF moms and engages them in conversation to determine if there\u2019s a prospective match between their children.\u00a0 Once the moms feel comfortable about a potential fit, they turn the reigns over to their kids. Under Colby\u2019s direction, the site blends old world tradition with today\u2019s modern technology and has quickly become an overnight sensation. Nearly 1,000 moms from around the world have posted their kids\u2019 profiles since it launched on July 6, 2010.<\/p>\n

Colby advises website management and has expanded the site to appeal to an international audience, from countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, The Netherlands. Italy, the UK and Columbia.\u00a0 He has played an integral role in updating the site\u2019s technology, appearance and resources, such as increasing browsing capabilities so moms can easily search kid\u2019s profiles. Colby also acts as a liaison for matchmaking parents, offering advice and tips to help facilitate the best matches. As a client of the site, he\u2019s gone on dates his mother has helped arrange. This aids his site research and development as well as enhances his perspective on dating, matchmaking and relationships.<\/p>\n

Through his professional and personal relationship with DateMySingleKid.com<\/strong>, Colby has inadvertently become a relationship expert in his own right, offering advice on love, dating and relationships to new and older generations of men and women.\u00a0 He has recently appeared on programs including Today Show, Gayle King Radio Show, and WPIX to discuss the site and relationship matters.<\/p>\n

Colby co-founded DateMySingleKid.com<\/strong> with his mother, Geri Brin, as a subsite to FabOverFifty.com<\/strong><\/a>, which celebrates the dynamic generation of baby boomer women.\u00a0 An interactive space, FOF invites its members to promote their passion projects and businesses and share their wisdom and fab faves on everything from restaurants to nail salons, local gourmet treats to trainers. It also features original and well-researched content on a spectrum of subjects relevant to their lives, from health and beauty to finances and fashion.<\/p>\n

Colby is about to earn a Master\u2019s degree in Sports Media from New York University. He has also worked in finance and non-profit arenas and was a freelance writer for magazines and newspapers for several years. Colby was born and raised in Manhattan and currently resides in Brooklyn with his Russian Blue cat, Brady.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
