Wired 12.06: Cracking the Code to Romance
Posting your details as an encoded string on your website isn't exactly the most romantic thing you can do, but it at least helps you meet people. And this is one of the major problems facing people in our interconnected, communication-mechanism rich age. Whilst the transports are there, the social skills may not be, and we are as alone and isolated as ever. Approaches to this include the bluetooth dating service my students are building for me (well, not actually for me, you understand, it's for my friend.....) and printing your email address on your t-shirt so that interested parties can contact you.
