Per the graphic -- which pulls data from a number of sources, including Reuters and The Washington Post -- online dating is worth more than one billion dollars per year, with the mobile phone dating market worth $550 million.

Though that doesn't appear to stop online daters from marrying much faster than their offline counterparts, especially should the couple in question have met on eHarmony.
