A WHOLE NEW WAY TO CONNECT AND MEET PEOPLE LAUNCHES TODAY

May 22, 2007 (TORONTO) --- “Gee, he’s (or she’s) really cute but I’m just too shy to approach him right here and now.”  Sound familiar?  It happens every day in people’s busy lives – be it at a bar or coffee shop, on a train, or on the street.  People think they could be a good match with a complete stranger yet don’t have the opportunity or gumption to do anything about it.  Until now!

Launching today is an innovative and fun ‘people connecting’ site called WereYouDiggingMe.com.  Those who have felt a spark or traded flirtatious glances with someone, can now ‘confirm the connection’ at WereYouDiggingMe.com.  People simply put in the city, date, and some descriptive information about the perceived ‘connection moment’ and wait for the other person to reply.  The best part is that the two people have already ‘met’ each other and think they might have a special connection within the real world…no more on-line guessing or scrolling through grainy pictures on a dating site. The site has an anonymous messaging service (only the person’s user name is visible) where they can strike up an on-line conversation with their connection friend until they feel totally comfortable to meet again in the real world.

Other innovative aspects of WereYouDiggingMe.com include:

• Discover the Connection – if a person is still waiting for their mystery ‘connection friend’ to reply to their posting, they can spend time discovering unknown connections among other site members.  Using connection criteria such as age, compatibility question matches, and area codes, the site’s ‘Connection Miner’ will tell them who they might connect well with.

• Catch the Connection - allows people to anonymously post a date and venue they’ll be at and ‘invites’ other site users to that venue depending on the connection criteria they have established (i.e. only extend invite to members who are within five years of my age).

• Friend Link - uses the ‘Six Degrees of Separation’ concept to determine if people share any common friends with that cute stranger they were digging and connecting with.

• Picture Peer - uses the ‘Wisdom of Crowds’ theory to match people up with their ‘peer equivalent’ of the gender they dig.  Site members rate pictures (optional picture upload) and this rating is then used to suggest ‘matches’ for people in the ‘Discover the Connection’ part of the site.

WereYouDiggingMe.com takes the dating game back out into the real world because people spend most of their time in the real world.
