Txt 4 a D8? RU 4 redi 4 it?

If you think dating methods have changed a lot recently – you’re not wrong. What with the online dating scene taking over the last 10 years, the advent of speed dating, of course SHI Symbol being the ultimate meeting people tool – well now you have text-messaging to find new dates and friends.

For the tech-savvy Singles amongst us, mobile/cell phone based services now have mobile dating services to help us meet new dates and friends via text messaging services. Programs help users find someone, anyone, basically strangers to exchange a text message with. And if you are really up with technology and have a GPS on your phone you can even find people close to you.

If you’re up for something new that is generally far cheaper than an online dating site service, this could be worth a try. On the other hand, I guess it would depend on how many text messages you sent to your new prospective date!

It’s been reported that Americans now send about 75 billion text messages a month and so it was a given that at some stage it would be exploited in such a way so to become a popular vehicle for conducting courtship.

The Los Angeles Times recently reported that Juniper Research projects the mobile dating industry will see US$1.4 billion in global revenue by 2013 from $330 million (US) in 2007. Currently it seems that in Japan mobile dating is already very popular and this is where the bulk of revenue is from at the moment.

So, Singles – if you’re good with words, and I mean really good with words – in a txt messaging fashion anyway – you’ve got a whole 160 characters to make an impression and keep the relationship or should that be intrigue going! So txt away and see where it gets you. What have you got to lose. I guess it’s no riskier to meet someone this way, than meeting someone you found on the net, or in a bar.

Next time you’re on the train getting to work, or buying your lunch or just generally waiting around – STOP WASTING TIME – strt 2 txt & find UR nu & nxt d8 hu jst myt B cloz 2 U 2!

A Personal Ad with a Difference

Finding Mr Right - Amy Borkowsky Single and the Super Bowl

In case you missed the biggest advertising idea to come out of America in a long time, check out Amy Borkowsky’s quest to find a suitable man.

Living in Manhattan you’d think it would be easy to date and fall in love with Sex and the City and all that stuff. But…with 1 man to every 100,000 single women – I’m just glad I don’t live there.

So, what is Amy planning to do about the problem of meeting men, let alone finding the right one she’d like to be with?

What do guys love? Sport, sport and more sport. And with the Superbowl never waning for viewers or advertisers it seems, Amy plans on seeking love during prime time Superbowl early next year. I like her style.

As we all know, meeting Mr Right (or Mrs Right) is just a numbers game, so apart from meeting men in our daily lives and activities, what a great idea to put your face and maybe more, under the scrutiny of more than 60 MILLION male viewers over the age of 18 – albeit for 30 seconds at $3million (US) for the privilege!

And that’s the little catch – raising the odd $3 million especially in this economic climate. In case you feel like you’d like to assist, do check out her website at http://superbowlsinglegirl.com . If Amy isn’t successful at raising the necessary funds, or all the ad spaces are taken, all funds raised will be donated to charity.

We might just gift Amy one of our Internationally recognizable SHI Symbols so she is in the best possible position to meet guys everywhere and anywhere she goes. You just HAVE to maximise your chances in that Manhattan marketplace! And.. it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than a Super Bowl Ad!

Make a date or rather a time to Scrabble with us…

Scrabble date with SHI Symbol International

Have you heard that by keeping your mind active, you can help reduce the likelihood of succumbing to Alzheimer’s Disease or Dementia?

Well I’m all for keeping the brain active and if this is an added bonus – count me in. If I have a bit of fun at the same time then there’s more reason to get involved.

It’s easy and you have the chance to spread the news to some of your other ‘brainy’ friends. And yes, Scrabble is making a comeback. Especially in this day of conserving resources with the recession around the corner. Or is it we’re actually in it and we don’t know?

Whatever – on to our Scrabble game. I first saw this idea as an email going around. As I can’t figure out how you can spread the word via wordpress to ‘tell a friend’, sorry you’ll have to email your friends this link or tell them to go in via the front page of our website www.shisymbol.com.au or www.shisymbol.com or www.shisymbol.co.uk
 
Please keep this going! If you received this via email from one of your friends, recognize that they considered you one of their ‘brainy’ friends/relatives!

All you have to do with this SCRABBLE is change one letter of the last word posted and see who gets stuck and can’t continue!

Rules: you cannot add letters, you cannot use foreign languages, and you can only change one letter.

Don’t forget to bookmark this so you can see how it is going and send this link back to the person that sent it to you, plus 10 new people (via email).

STARTING WORD: dates

Don’t forget: Send this link back to the person that sent it to you, plus 10 new people so we can keep this Scrabble alive.
