Facebook faces competition from Hyves

Well, at least for Patrick’s Dating Show.
After my previous post on my new dating concept where I use Facebook flyers to market the concept :), the founders of Hyves reminded me via email that it is possible and cheaper (well, that is something to be seen) to put up targeted ads on hyves as well.
And as they really likes the concept they even upgraded my account with some virtual euros so I can have the first 20000 views for zero real euros (still get it? :)).
I immediately put up the same add as I did on facebook, targeted at girls between 25 and 30, living in amsterdam. The only difference is that I cannot target the ads to single women, but that is just a minor difference.
This is really getting to be an interesting experiment and I’m getting a little bit nervous as well… The possibility that people I know will see the ad has increased exponentially now that the ad is up on Hyves. At first it was a nice little innocent experiment, but now it is really for real!
So I think it is time to add a tagline to the concept. How about this:

Girls from Facebook vs Girls from Hyves

That Hyves is cheaper is bullshit. Last time I paid about 2 euro’s a click… And check your mail for response on the facebook app I’m going to make for Fleck ;-)
