Product Description
UrbanSeeder let's users connect with people they meet in public spaces and invite them to a private space for two where they can communicate privately and anonymously. These spaces, named Seeds, are a platform for exchange of expressive content across channels (offline and online). Users can upload, create or syndicate personal content, buy gifts for each other, schedule to go to a concert, or call each other.
Here is an example:

UrbanSeeder is now in a closed beta.

Market Opportunity
UrbanSeeder is the first flirting application that appeals to users of social networks, with over a 100 million users MySpace users and more than 1 million Flickr users ready to connect. Online dating sites monetize personal connections for as high as 60$ as a monthly premium, or between 3-10$ per connection, but don't appeal to the same users.
