Dating As The Killer App For Wireless?

Well, a couple of companies think they're on to something, but no one is sure if it will fly in the US. It's basically a mixture between SMS messaging on your mobile phone and eCrush. Yes, that's right - use your mobile phone to find a date. I could see it catching on a bit in the US if it were more like the Lovegety, but instead it just lets you send a text message to someone you already know and like - and they have to guess who sent it, and write back to that person. Maybe it will catch on with junior high school kids, but I doubt it has much of a chance with adults.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
