Bringing humor into online dating statistics and trends. Interesting findings such as which questions to ask someone on a first date, how race affects how often people respond to a user, the correlation between amount of messages received and eye contact in a photo, and which questions best determine compatibility (i.e.: Do you like the taste of beer? Would living on a sailboat be a good idea?).

Great insights about relationships and dating, based on real data collected and analyzed in a rigorous way. oktrends has been an inspiration for our own blogging initiatives at Hunch.

If you're a consumer facing big data company - just copy their model - it's great!

There are few sites with the kind of data on people that okcupid has. There are even fewer where the owners analyze the data with statistics and publish it. Definitely worth a look.
