The point: To find people in your proximity using your mobile phone as with Sixth Sense, but talk to them on the phone anonymously before you decide to meet up.

Hypothetical happily-ever-after scenario: You pop into your favorite pizza place for a bite, but you're kind of lonely. There must be a lovely woman nearby who's also hungry, and happens to share some of your interests. After scanning the options in your phone, you make an anonymous call to somebody in your zip code. You hit it off on the phone and next thing you know, you're falling in love over deep dish.

Why they say they're special: Zogo cuts straight to the chase, making it easy to have an anonymous phone conversation without having to give out your number. That can tell you a lot about your chemistry or lack thereof before you waste time going on a date.

asap's warning: Hang up if the person on the other line says, "I'll gut you like a fish."

Log on, and you could meet: love_potion_no9, flirtini, interestingfella, orange_gurl, buddha, astroboy2999, welshwonder, strawberry, monkeyking or doctormauri73.
