Match.com one of the world's leading online dating service providers, announced that its members have exchanged over one billion winks.  Much like an in-person wink, a Match.com "wink" is an easy way for members to flirt and express initial interest in one another without a formal email introduction. With over 735,000 winks sent globally each day this year alone, Match.com members clearly believe in the universal flirting power of the classic gesture.

"Match.com has transformed the way people meet and connect, and the idea of a digital 'wink' has been a big part of that," said Mandy Ginsberg, senior vice president and general manager of Match.com North America.
"The wink is as old as the art of flirtation, and as new as what shows up in your in-box tomorrow."
