DAILYMAIL.CO.UK - July 7 - TrueView is a new dating app that uses real time micro-blogging to hunt down potential matches. The app enables users to create a simple profile and then update it minute-by-minute with whatever they are doing, just like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Users can also mark their location so they can see if any potential dates are nearby.

Currently only available in the UK store. Psismic.com was an online version of this from about 4 years ago. I like the idea of micro-blogging in a dating environment, in principal. People can define themselves by what they choose to share. Its more like a pub. But its tough to pull off effectively and get to critical mass. Needs heavy policing and good community controls in place. Psismic didn't last. Mind you, it had a pretty bad name. Not at all word-of-mouth friendly.
