Actually, a friend told me the other day about a company that is coming out
with a pager (actually more of a transponder) that can be set with things
like "I like redheads", or "I'm a guy/girl looking for a guy/girl". It will
be the kind of thing you would check out when you went into a bar, and if
you got close to your target person, the pager would go off.
Unfortunately, this friend told me in person (email is a form of augmented
memory, you know), so I don't have a URL.
