Here’s a neat tool for (mostly) guys that should help them more easily approach that hot girl in the club. IceBrkr.com is a mobile dating service that tries to help users by-pass all the awkwardness of first contact. Here’s how it works.
Users register for a membership and upload few photos of themselves. The free membership gives them 4 free messages to send, after which additional message credits (units) purchase is needed. There are no detailed profiles because the whole point of the service is the “first impression.”
Next goes mingling. IceBrkr.com is picking the dating hotspots like fancy bars, coffee shops, flash mobbing events, train stations or just about any other convenient location. You can see in advance who is going to be at a particular spot by browsing photos on your mobile phone or a PC. If someone caught your eye, you go to that spot. Once there, you can use IceBrkr.com to send a message and ask whether they want to make contact. They in turn also see who’s just contacted them, and can reply with simple “yes” or “no.”
After this technology stops, you’re on your own. Telling a cute girl you’re reading IntoMobile will certainly help.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
