I'm catching up a bit this week with some older dating news, looking at what's new and unique in the dating world. One of the ideas that caught my attention is a Canadian-based service called Flitter, run by speed dating company Fast Life. A play on words (flirt and Twitter), singles attend an in-person event where they wear a number prominently and send Twitter-like messages via cell phone to a large screen in the middle of the meeting place for all to see. Messages are sent anonymously or with the sender's number attached.
I can't seem to find a website for the company, nor can I locate any events past February-ish of this year. Still, for the tech-savvy singles market, it might provide a unique way to break the ice -- although I could see it going both ways depending on how eagerly the attendees embrace the concept.
What do you think? Would you attend a Flitter event to meet someone? Why or why not?
