Quiver & Quill

What are you doing right now? Want to meet up. Want to see a cool website. Check out this video I just posted. What are you doing right now? Want go to a concert in Second Life. Want to find a trustworthy babysitter who is free tonight? Want to find the best deal on travel? What are you doing right now? Want to find a business solution. Want to find a soul mate. Want to find someone who wants to know what you’re doing right now?

My friend Jesse Baer shared this website you should check out. It’s called CrazyBlindDate. Think Match.com meets Twitter. The site sets you up with a perfect stranger for a date and makes it happen immediately, as in, within minutes. A real date, in person. So cool. How do you find your date:

“When you agree to a date, you’ll get to see a description of your match. If you still can’t find each other amongst all the other nervous-looking people at that bar or coffee shop, quack like a dog and make armpit farts. If that doesn’t work, you can send each other text messages through us. In the final 30 minutes before the date, we open a relay. If you send a text message to CUPID (28743) it will go to your date’s phone. For example: “I’m at the bar in the back, wearing a blue sweater, drinking a martini.”

The basic idea reminds me of a new site I saw at Web Innovators meet up called Mix and Meet. The premise of the site is to bring strangers together in small groups to meet and share similar interests, “meet people, not pictures,.”

What I like about these sites, and what I like about Twitter for that matter, is their ability to make things happen immediately.

I like the idea that millions of strangers who up until recently may have never left their apartments, may have never explored a curiosity or temptation, may have never met other strangers who are just like them. Now they have the tools to make their life more complete. Or at least less boring.

What are you doing right now? Are you finding your passion? Are you discovering others who share it? What are you doing right now? Lemme know.
