There have been a number of articles recently on the self-proclaimed
"love-concierge" of Silicone Valley (although a number of pieces
mentioned "Silicone Alley" instead). "Love-concierge" is the term used
by Amy Andersen, yet another digital matchmaker, spray-tan aficionado
and the founder of Linx Dating. The latest news is swirling around her
bringing "Cougar Nights" to a Menlo Park hotel.

Looking around, I see that this is not the only place where one can find
this particular collocation. A potential candidate for one of the WOTY
lists?
