Imagine walking into a dimly lit, swank lounge packed with 300+ singles, everyone wearing a numbered tag and holding a mobile device. A giant Big Brother screen looms, displaying a live-feed stream of the flirty tweets (aka "flitters") pinging about amongst the crowd. You spot an enticing stranger, and with thumbs poised on mobile device you begin to compose in your head the perfect in-140-characters-or-less come-on to #157....
Suddenly you receive a flitter: "Hey #69 - U R so hot! See u at the bar? #123 flitter."
Welcome to the world of Flittering.
This Valentine's Day Eve, Canadian singles will be tweeting for love at Flitter events like this held in major cities across Canada. Flittering is the brainchild of Fastlife, the world's largest speed dating company, which hosts events in six countries including the U.S.
Personally, I can see Flitter parties trending and quickly overtaking speed dating events (which seem so early aughts decade). Canada is hardly the first place I'd search for hot trends (Sorry, Canada). But the Canucks may be on to something here. What do you think? Post your comments and let me know.
