Interesting 3G mobile dating approach in Australia

The use of 3G mobile technology for mobile dating is nothing new, and there are quite a few mobile dating projects around. However, if you live in Australia, here's an interesting mobile dating service that combines speed-dating and mobile dating into a single service. The service is called MeetMe (meetme.com.au).

How does it work?

Basically, based on your personal preferences disclosed during the registration process, MeetMe tries to find as many close matches as possible. You are then presented with a list of profiles that should match your personality and preferences, and are given the option to "meet" someone through a video call by announcing you are ready to accept calls. You then enter the most convenient time, and are notified about the arranged video call once the other person accepts. The idea is that you can know almost right away if you "click" with the other person by seeing them and talking to them during the short video call. The calls are set to last no more than two minutes. Once the call ends, you are prompted to give feedback and if both people give positive feedback the profiles are stored in favorites. You can always talk again later, at a time when you accept calls. Once initial contact is made, there is no time limit on your decision to take things further. It's entirely up to you. Neither of the calling parties' phone numbers are disclosed, therefore your privacy is protected at all times.

Apart from having to be in Australia, singles using this service are required to meet the following conditions as well:

• An Australian mobile number
• A 3G SIM card
• A 3G mobile phone with video calling
• Your service provider has enabled video calling on your account with them.

If you live "down under", or are traveling there, here's a neat way to meet someone interesting.
