Don’t you hate it when you see a hot woman at the bar and, like most men, you’re too much of a wimp to strike up a conversation with her? Put your troubles at the door, mister - Ice Brkr is here to solve all of your social problems.
Ice Brkr is a new dating application in the UK that enables wallflowers to break the ice with their budding prospect - through text-messages.

Shameless self promotion (and your humanitarian concerns) are only a text away.
Reactee lets you customize your own t-shirt that when texted will send any response you like. They give you suggestions (“Stop Global Warming�, “Practice Safe Texting�) or you can design your own (“Single?�, “Hung Like A Democrat�) that you can share with friends or just order for yourself.
All you do is text the keyword on the shirt to 41411 and your customized response will be sent straight to the users cell. Visit reactee.com to customize a tee, browse the gallery and send a few texts. You never know what response will show up in your inbox!
Here are a few of my favorites.

Yes, hard to believe, but it is now even easier to have casual, spur-of-the-moment sex. Read More »
