Tiberius Brastaviceanu has created the Matchmaking Device System.

This invention combines wireless technology and Internet into a very low-cost device, and enables individuals in densely populated resorts, at large gatherings, in nightclubs, in densely populated urban settings, etc., to be aware of nearby individuals sharing similar interests, and to decide to meet them based on their compatibility.

Limiting the use to “specific social eventsâ€? doesn’t make sense although other section of his business description are more on target.

I’ve used a few of these systems, and while they are novel at first, I quickly tire of the blinking/bleeping and false positives they tend to exhibit in crowded spaces.

I would rather see a talented party host guide the evening than rely on automated profile matching. “Hey, we both like beer� is not exactly a conversation starter.

Charmed Technology and many other companies are marketing various variations on the personal matchmaking gadget theme. This sort of functionality belongs in my mobile phone, I don’t need yet another piece of limited-functionality gear taking up valuable space in my pack. Perhaps Tiberius will send me a version to review.
