{{TFD}} '''Serendipity''' [http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/B134AEF8-14DE-44E1-A878-64FECC050861.htm covered here] "Using Bluetooth wireless technology - a short-range system built into many mobile phones - would-be daters subscribe to a service that stores a personal profile, their photograph and a wish-list of what they are looking for in a partner. When the database spots enough similarities between two people who are in close proximity οΏ½ no matter if it is in a shopping mall, office, bar or cafe - the service tells their mobile phones to communicate with each other, sending over a package of details and a picture. After the help of technology, comes the human bit - deciding whether and how to talk to a complete stranger." If this could also be done for [[buying criteria]], this would be one of the most [[essential projects]], since it would help people with similar views find each other and cooperate on [[Campaign]]s ("[[buy local]]" efforts) or [[Research]] relevant to their local area. This would especially help [[Distributed Consumerium]] which would rely more on such local initiatives.
