Am I hot... or not?
Rate 'n Date is a new service launched last week by mobile services company LuckyMobile, that allows people to MMS photos of themselves to . Photos are then rated by other cellphone users on a scale of 1 to 10.
Rate 'n Date allows chat via SMS to other people who have submitted their photos for rating. According to Tracey Cohen, Marketing Manager of LuckyMobile, literally thousands of ratings have been received since Rate 'n Date was first launched one week ago.
LuckyMobile sends a WAP link to new users' cellphones, enabling them to log onto Rate 'n Date whenever they want to view their current scores. The cost of each MMS sent varies according to the user's cellular network. Minimal WAP charges apply to view other people's photos while each SMS sent to other registered users costs R2.
Cohen says: "Technology impacts every aspect of our lives and it's natural that people should be using technology to find the perfect partner. Internet dating and now cellphone dating enables one to interact with so many more potential partners than our parents would ever have been exposed to."
