(1888PressRelease) August 14, 2012 - Online and mobile dating expert, Julie Spira, has submitted a panel to South by Southwest (SXSW) to discuss the latest trend in the dating industry, social discovery.

The panel will feature the Brian Bowman, CEO of one of the Internet's first social dating networks; Maria Avgitidis, a top matchmaker; and flirting expert Rachel DeAlto who will address user issues, establish a forum for creating a more intuitive platform, and show how to turn naysayers into members.

This panel will ask and answer the following questions:

1. What is the main use of "social discovery" - isn't it mainly dating?

2. How can online dating sites better serve their members? Who are the current winners and losers? MeetMe, Tagged, Badoo, Highlight, Banjo - aren't they just dating sites anyway?

3. An overwhelming amount of users access online dating through mobile apps. What do users expect from the mobile component? Does privacy (safety) require anonymity?
