What do you get when you merge a ridiculously hot and popular wireless platform with a ridiculously hot and insanely NOW phenomenon like social networking?  Yeah, a pretty darn sweet merger, that’s what.

Basically what we’re talking about is taking the ease, comfort and convenience of personal data transfer in the social networking world (think how easy it is to flirt, open lines of communication, or even profess your undying love for someone on Facebook or MySpace, the fear of rejection is just not there!) and manifesting it in the actual physical world.  Say what?

That’s right, according to the article at TechCrunch:

“UK based First Move is a dating site where you create a private profile then buy black or pink credit-card sized cards that have your First Move user code on them, costing about £1 each. When you see someone that takes your fancy you hand over the card with your anonymised profile on it, they view your profile and contact you. “You Caught My Eye!” is printed on the back of each card.”

Wow, smooth.  The fact is, the idea is catching resistance from various sides, stating that if people have the courage to slide them the pink card, they’d have the courage to talk to them, but this is not always the case.  I guess time will tell…well, time, and the success rate of lonely computer guys across the planet.
