I hadn't heard of IAC, so I looked it up: "IAC is a leading internet company with more than 50 fast-growing, highly-related brands serving loyal consumer audiences... our mission is to harness the power of interactivity to make daily life easier and more productive for people all over the world."

Straight out of the Dilbert mission statement generator.

They own a whole bunch of businesses (http://www.iac.com/Our-Businesses/), including shoebuy.com, where a friend of mine works.

Huh. Vimeo.

This revelation actually gives me a lot of faith in rdouble's prediction that "IAC will just leave it as is."

That's actually calmed me down quite a bit. I'm sure the OkCupid guys are smart enough to get some autonomy.
