Woof Woof! What a Pig!

Next time you're out and about and someone's phone starts barking at you, it's probably because you're both using True Blue Love's MoSoSo Bluetooth application.

The idea is that people download an app to their Series 60 Symbian, complete a profile saying something about themselves and who they're looking for. Then they choose an animal that best describes their mating habits (hound, bird, ape, moose or pig).

When their phone detects someone in range (10 metres) with a matching profile, that's when your chosen animal lets rip.

True Blue Love has more of an exploratory, arty feel to it than a commercial product, but that's not to say a lot can't be learned and maybe applied to future commercial iterations.

Story via Pasta and Vinegar, where I also recently learned a new piece of jargon - the WOMBAT. No, not another noise on True Blue Love's application, but Where are the Other Mobile Buddies Around Town? What we used to call a Buddy Finder round these parts, when I were but a lad.
