Twitter Becomes A Dating Tool

Tech savvy singles who were not lucky in love this Valentine's day spent the evening using Flitter to meet new people in Toronto, Canada last week.

Hundreds of singles could be found at the Flitter party (Flitter is a play on Twitter and flirting), and they all sat, gazing at their iPhones and BlackBerrys in a dim room.

A huge projector set up inside the venue would show the tweets as they were happening.

Everyone wore a white sticker with a number and people who tweeted would mention the numbers of those they were interested in.

Will Lam, a 27-year old banking professional and Twitter fanatic, attended the event because Flitter piqued his interest.

"I was just wondering how they would leverage Twitter and facilitate interaction between people," said Lam, but he thought that the tweeting was awkward and distracting whenever he tried to strike up a conversations with women.

"I actually tweeted #19 was really cute, but I can't even find her anymore," he said.

But tweeters aren't forced to hook up; they can put up comments that are anonymous if they're too shy to make any real moves.

The Flitter parties weren't just held in Toronto either; they were also held in Vancouver, Ottawa and Montreal.

What about you? Would you be interested in attending a Flitter party? Or do you currently use Twitter as a flirting tool anyway?
