After days of rumors, it’s been confirmed that online dating site Match.com has acquired Singlesnet for an undisclosed sum. Match.com says the acquisition is more a “value acquisition than a strategic one”, and assures that Singlesnet will continue to operate independently.

Last year, Match.com bought another competitor, People Media, for a cool $80 million. The Singlesnet deal is rumored to be half that.
