Meeting new people for the first time over a gadget then in real life in such a short period of time can be creepy. Think chat room then you walk into the other room and bump into "hotNsExAy18" and it's a 26yo with a kid. Creepy. 4.

This requires some sort of gadget AND you can already do it with bluetooth in cellphones and the proper software (i had this about 3 years ago on my nokia 6600) 3.

Now see if they aren't a sweaty 30-something dude that pays MUDs in his mom's basement. Yeah. 1. facebook is already the “myspace in my area with less BS and not resembling something a 6th grade skript kiddie would copy-and-paste together in an afternoon.”
