Looking for Love?


Scientists have developed a system for mobile phones called, "Serendipity", that allows people to identify potential "mates". How? Users sign-up to a database which keeps their online profile, picture and list of "desirable" traits in a mate. When the user is out in public, the system can detect when another user is within close range (using Bluetooth technology). The system can then determine if there are enough similarities between the two people, at which time it notifies the user (with a picture and other info) that a potential match is close by!!
