Expanding With a Business Alliance
Alliances are worth their weight in business gold.
In eight minutes, you can meet that special someone. Tom Jaffee, the mastermind behind Boston-based 8minuteDating.com, found even more than that at one of his matchmaking parties.

TPI runs the personal ad pages for 550 newspapers in the United States.
