Okay so the Meetro v0.61 beta is out. Instead of just passing on it because of that really cheesy video on the main site, I decided to try it out. And it is great... really, and honestly great. The fact that it is location aware only means that you know where others on meetro live or where they are typing from. But the fact that you know where even random people are talking to you from makes you want to IM them. Therefore "breaking the ice". It is all orgnized very nicly, the close some one is to you the higher they are on the list. On top of that the UI is very usable and the profile system is done very well. You can type a little about yourself, post cool websites, and then describe what you like in the categories of books, movies, places, and movies. If you find some one close to you, just view their profile and see if you like what they like and then talk to them. I've been talking to all these people that live within 5 miles of me, and one guy is still talking to me about comics. At first this seems (and it seemed to me) like a very odd concept --ohhh people know where I am I'm going to get killed-- its actually a great way to meet new people. Definitely try it out, its worth a look.
