Bluetooth Introductions

A bare-bones example of Situational Software, as reported by Smartmobs:

A service was launched last month in Singapore called BEDD that uses Bluetooth wireless communications to scan strangers' phones for their personal profiles. This differs from other mobile dating services in that it relies on phone-to-phone transmission, running on the short-range Bluetooth technology within a 20-meter (65 ft) radius.

"Other mobile-based dating services in Asia — such as Singapore Telecommunications' MyCupid and Bharti Airtel of India's TrackUrMate — exchange information through a central database", USAToday reports.
