		<description>[...] Consumating は2005年夏にスタート した。その後2005年12月にCNET に買収されたが、新しいインタフェースと機能を備えて先月新装開店し た。キャッチは「ダメ男じゃないない相手を見つけよう （Find People Who Don&#8217;t Suck）」 このサービスではタグが大きな役割を演じている。Consumatingは明確にヒップな若い層を狙っている。ユーザーは質問に応えながらプロファイルを 完成させることで自分の魅力をアピールする。大まかな年代（20代、30代など）とタグの検索によって友だちやパートナーを探す。このサイトではさまざま なコンテストや毎週開催されるクイズ大会を通じてユーザー間の懇親を図っている。 Consumatingのその他の機能として、ユーザーが設定した条件（全員、zipコード、タグなど）によってウェブページへメンバーの情報を送信するウィジェットが提供されている。また掲示板も用意されている。下記にウィジェットの一つを掲載しておいた。（注釈：ウィジェットはFirefoxでは正常に表示されているが、IE、Operaでは表示されていないよう）   var widget = new ConsumatingWidget(); widget.randomProfile();   .csm_badge { background: #FFF; border: 1px solid #666; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;} .csm_badge_vertical { background: #FFF; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } .csm_badge_horizontal { background: #FFF; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } .csm_wrapper { width: 152px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative; font-family: &#8220;Trebuchet MS&#8221;,Trebuchet,&#8221;Lucinda Grande&#8221;, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } .csm_horizontal_wrapper { width: 502px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-family: &#8220;Trebuchet MS&#8221;,Trebuchet,&#8221;Lucinda Grande&#8221;, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } .csm_vertical_wrapper { width: 52px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-family: &#8220;Trebuchet MS&#8221;,Trebuchet,&#8221;Lucinda Grande&#8221;, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } .csm_wrapper a { color: #0A6; } .csm_wrapper .logo { text-align: center; border-top: 1px dashed #666; } .csm_break { height: 1px; clear: both;} .csm_row { padding: 0px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 5px; min-height: 50px; height: 50px;} .csm_row_txt { position: relative; left: 60px; width: 90px; font-size: 12px; } .csm_row_pic {position: absolute; left: 0px; width: 55px; } .csm_txt { padding: 5px; text-align: center; } .csm_card { border: solid #666 1px; width: 110px; height: 145px; text-align: center; font-size: 11px; padding-top: 5px; background: #FFF; margin: 5px;} .csm_profile { text-align: center; padding: 10px; }    widget.firstProfile(); for (i = 0; i &lt; widget.profileCount(10); i++) { document.write(widget.profileLink(widget.photo(1,50))); widget.nextProfile(); } [...]</description>

		<description>[...] Consumating launched in the summer of 2005, was acquired by CNET in December 2005 and relaunched last month with a new interface and features. It&#8217;s tagline is &#8220;Find People Who Don&#8217;t Suck,&#8221; and tagging plays a big part in the service. Consumating is clearly aimed young hipsters, who can make themselves more &#8220;popular&#8221; by answering questions to fill out their profile. Users search by loose age ranges (20s, 30s, etc.) and tags to find friends and partners. The site also seeks to engage users through a variety of contests and weekly user quizzes. Other Consumating features include a widget that streams member information to a web page based on parameters you set (everyone, zipcode, by tag). The site also has message board features. We&#8217;ve included a version of the widget below.   var widget = new ConsumatingWidget(); widget.randomProfile();   .csm_badge { background: #FFF; border: 1px solid #666; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;} .csm_badge_vertical { background: #FFF; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } .csm_badge_horizontal { background: #FFF; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } .csm_wrapper { width: 152px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative; font-family: &#8220;Trebuchet MS&#8221;,Trebuchet,&#8221;Lucinda Grande&#8221;, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } .csm_horizontal_wrapper { width: 502px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-family: &#8220;Trebuchet MS&#8221;,Trebuchet,&#8221;Lucinda Grande&#8221;, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } .csm_vertical_wrapper { width: 52px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-family: &#8220;Trebuchet MS&#8221;,Trebuchet,&#8221;Lucinda Grande&#8221;, verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } .csm_wrapper a { color: #0A6; } .csm_wrapper .logo { text-align: center; border-top: 1px dashed #666; } .csm_break { height: 1px; clear: both;} .csm_row { padding: 0px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 5px; min-height: 50px; height: 50px;} .csm_row_txt { position: relative; left: 60px; width: 90px; font-size: 12px; } .csm_row_pic {position: absolute; left: 0px; width: 55px; } .csm_txt { padding: 5px; text-align: center; } .csm_card { border: solid #666 1px; width: 110px; height: 145px; text-align: center; font-size: 11px; padding-top: 5px; background: #FFF; margin: 5px;} .csm_profile { text-align: center; padding: 10px; }     widget.firstProfile(); for (i = 0; i &lt; widget.profileCount(10); i++) { document.write(widget.profileLink(widget.photo(1,50))); widget.nextProfile(); } [...]</description>
