You were walking on the side-walk and you encounter a beautiful gal near a Pizza shop. Now, you have two options:
1. Just appraoch her and compliment her beauty (or)
2. Just walk away as you dont know the consequences when you approach her. Lets put this in simple words - 'you are scared!'
And as per the 'law of evolution', most of us fall under the second category! Probably, Samson Manickaraj would have got very desperate on such situations and found the site 'Blauk.com'. 'Blauk' is a microsite which allows comments on the strangers you encounter. You leave a comment on the person by identifying the exact location/dress/car and possibly the starnger can reply you and from thereon..he/she is not a stranger anymore!
Below is one such example of a poor soul, where he got rejected as she has a boyfriend!
On the rear side, like any other service, there are people who can misuse such sites. Few that I can think of are:
1. Stalkers...
2. If the site grows rapidly, there could be 'Product placements' messages posted on the site. Some messages can read like this: ' Guy with colored hair, near the 'Newly opened 'Best fashions' in downtown'.
This is defintely an exciting concept and is in very early stages, which has room for loads of improvements. Probably, the founder may expand the site based on its popularity. However, one must-have feature is to find the strangers based on location, which otherwise could get lost in the flood of messages.
Hope the 'Single's get benefited by this service!
Its worth while to mention, omegle.com where you can only chat with Strangers.
