Matchmaker.com is an internet (and, prior to the internet, dial-up) dating service. It was founded in 1986, making it the oldest of the current online dating sites. From 2000 to January 2006, it was run by Lycos. In January 2006, it was purchased by Date.com.

CTI Matchmaker sets the MLS server to automatically notify you and/or your client when new or changed listings match specified criteria. The purpose of Matchmaker is to automate future searches so you do not have to keep repeating them - it is not designed to email current search results. Therefore, Matchmaker does not send notices of properties that already match search criteria at the time the Matchmaker search was first saved (see note 1 below).

Matchmaker.com originated from a Bulletin Board System created by Gregory Scott Smith in San Antonio, Texas in March of 1983. It began as a dial-up system with a single modem based Apple II+. Shortly afterwards it was ported to a Microsoft Xenix based Tandy 6000 microcomputer and written in MBASIC and then re-written again in C (programming language) by programmer Jon Robert Boede. It was originally conceived as a pen-pal network for everyone. There were no membership fees and the system operated on user donations.

One of the benefits of Matchmaker is that the program makes it easy for customers to take advantage of the Software Assurance training vouchers they have in place. "At Softmart, we knew that there were customers who had purchased Software Assurance but who had not redeemed their vouchers for training," adds McCarty, Softmart's manager for Partner Development. She explains that while Softmart educates customers about the benefits they receive through Software Assurance and Learning Solutions partners work with these customers to provide training, "there was a disconnect in this process," according to McCarty. "There was no official connection between the resellers and the Learning Solutions partners that allowed us to share information electronically back and forth about customer needs and opportunities."

: Agents should directly notify clients about any current listings that already match the client's criteria at the time Matchmaker was created. CTI Matchmaker only searches in the future for listings that are new or have changed after Matchmaker was saved.

Recipients can stop the system from automatically sending them future CTI Matchmaker notices by clicking where indicated at the bottom of the notice. Unsubscribing will automatically remove the recipient's email address from [T]hat particular Matchmaker and will automatically notify the sending agent. If the recipient is listed on multiple Matchmakers, the agent should determine whether or not to manually remove their email address from the other Matchmakers. Links in CTI Matchmaker notices already received will continue to be active until the Matchmaker notice is deleted by the recipient (or the linked listings expire out of the MLS).
