This post is dedicated to all the fun that me and June (my friend) are having these days because of BluePont
June started using it first and met some pretty interesting person and she is the sole culprit of dragging me into this fun!!! ...hahahaha - so I decided to give it a shot ...just like I have done so many weird things like betting to not sleep for 48 hours ...(and that was also because of my best friend June :) )
While searching about Bluepont I came across a user's experience on a forum -
So I go into this bar and was having drinks...I was eyeing a guy at the corner...he was stealing looks at me...and I liked him...I was secretly hoping I will get to meet him...hahahaha...and then bluepont played a music and I was told that there is a guy nearby whom you might like to meet...I prayed it to be him and replied yes, i would like to meet him...(read further)
This is so similar to my story -
I was waiting at the bus stop when my blackberry played music...I checked and found that Bluepont has found a match for me...while I was contemplating what to do since my bus still had 30 minutes to come...I decided to meet this match of mine - courtesy Bluepont
Well, I was not very disappointed...
He (I dont want to name him!) seemed quite genteel and nice guy...he was quite hesitant in the start but then I broke the ice by playing some stupid joke on myself. We both started laughing and then he was in his true colors!
Later I asked him if he realised that had we not used Bluepont, we would not have met becuase he would have been so hesitated in approaching me...and both of us again started laughing!
And well, yes June, we indeed have decided to meet again...
For those who dont know about Bluepont - BluePont is a cool mobile application for mobile phones that alerts users when the right person is close.
It's based on GPS or cell towers, and it alerts people when they are within 200 - 1,000 yards of each other depending on location precision. The service then enables the two people to exchange private messages (number is not sent) so they can possibly meet right away.There are 20+ "mobile meeting" happening now every day so the critical mass is within reach.
