Getting Wickd
GetWickd is a dating service using mobile technology. Participants buy Wickd clothing, which features a code. Other participants spot a likely person sporting such a code, check the sigil on cell phone, and have the option of sending a message to the wearer.
The idea is this: you buy a GetWickd shirt or jacket, download an app to your phone and set up your profile.
Then, when you’re out and about, looking stylish, but unapproachable, a prospective mate (who also has the GetWicked app on their phone) can scan your code from afar and initiate contact from the safety of their mobile.
It’s powered by ShotCode, a proprietary version of QR Code.
Apart from the initial setup, all interaction is via the phone. The profile only let’s you link to your other mobile profiles – YouTube, Facebook, MySpace.
