1. Registration is too long.
2. Photo upload is not part of the registration flow.
3. No easy way to find who’s online.
4. Not letting members know the status of their emails (or asking them to pay for it).
5. Making updating a profile tougher than necessary.
6. No search by partial username.
7. Not notifying users when someone “hot listed” or “favorited” them.
8. Sending the content of the email to their personal email.
9. Not sending real-time notifications.
10. Connecting IM and Online status.
