If you are single, and have a mobile phone,
the love of your life could be just a Bluetooth connection away. SmallPlanet has been
testing their Bluetooth-enabled CrowdSurfer software for mobile phones and it appears to be gaining momentum.
The website works a lot like other online dating services but the CrowdSurfer software includes a Bluetooth scanning
engine to find other users in the same room, restaurant, club, etc. The proximity-to-another-user software is supposed
to work up to 100 feet and runs on various Nokia, BenQ, and
Panasonic phones that have Bluetooth turned on. According to this
ABC News video, you can also surf members profiles using their mobile-friendly web site.
