Lipton says that the industry is estimated to be worth $2bn, and runs through some of the top apps that singles might be using this New Years Eve.

Zoosk President Alex Mehr talks about how mobile has made messaging between matches much easier – as opposed to having to wait to log onto their computer at home to reply.
