Friendster and Eharmony - Friends or not?

Here's something interesting.
I was upset about what I learned about Neil Clark Warren and wrote a letter to Friendster complaining about their "match up" with the edating service. Did they not know that NCW was connected to "Focus on the Family?" I wondered....
Friendster's customer service reps. wrote back:" We are NOT partnered with eHarmony, someone started this rumer. It is a hoax.
thank you"
Unless something has changed since Nov. 30th, Eharmony and Friendster may not be partners, but they did make a big deal together, as Friendster made eharmony the exclusive matchmaker that could advertise on its site.
Eharmony's own press releases announce the agreement, which was also covered in MSNBC's business news section:

This has been reported on earlier in the Month, and others have contacted Friendster about the deal. Note this article by David Evans on Corante.com
Later on, I'll try to find out more information about the relationship between the two sites, and update you on my correspondence with Friendster.
