Mobile Phone Service Offers Help to Lonely Hearts

Lonely-hearts will stand a better chance of finding a soul mate thanks to new mobile phone dating technology, reports Reuters.

"Would-be daters looking for a "significant other" may soon be able to subscribe to a service which stores in their phones a personal profile and information on what they want most from a partner.

When there are enough similarities between two people, and they happen to be in close proximity, the service tells their phones to communicate with each other.

Called Serendipity, the service was created by a team at the MIT. The latter-day cupids hope to offer people an alternative to online dating, the New Scientist magazine reported Wednesday."
