Reminds me of another paid service that recently cropped up, that supposedly made it easier to find out where your friends were at... for a fee.

When services like these pop up, I always wonder... are these companies solving a problem that actually exists? Or trying to have a problem solved before its even created?

Well if anyone has a ton of VC to throw out there, I have an idea for a business for people who are too shy to text someone they just met. You text the service and it will contact your intended recipient with a note that says, "Do you like John Smith? Please reply with yes or no." If the person replies with a "yes", you will be informed and can initiate normal texting. If the reply is negative, the service will inform you as gently as possible.

I think that's an interesting twist on the idea, personally. :)

rmbrME isn't a location-based friend finder, FWIW. It's really about exchanging your social network contact information with someone you meet in real time. More like a business card, only more effective, green, fast and fun.
