I think its a great idea.... other than you will get sick of meeting people every weekend, and there is of course the cost of meeting people and giving them t-shirts.

Safety is also an issue, but I think its reasonably easy to take precuations on that one.

How would that many people (who you don't already know) stumble across the new site? Would you meet with anyone who asked or just those you felt happy (age/race/gender wise) with? Are you meeting them or are they meeting you? (Regarding ego and reasoning.) Where do you intend to meet them? Was the bit about T-shirts actually serious? (Regarding patronising and ego.)

Word of mouth, spreading the word. - Mostly anyone, I'd vet people first but I wouldn't be ageist, racist, genderist. - We'd be meeting each other, mostly. I'm sure the only people how WOULD Meet Matt would be the people who'd want to meet new people themselves, so it wouldn't end up being an ego thing. - I'd meet them in somewhere quite public, a train station or a cafe or somewhere neutral and public like that since it gives both of us a subtle sense of security and it's somewhere either of us can walk away from. - The tshirts idea was serious, but only to add some fun to the whole thing. It gives people a souvineer unique to the whole thing. They'd have it and I'd not know if they burn it or wear it, it wouldn't satisfy an ego.

I think it's an excellent idea. I bet eventually there'll be a time (in future years) when you get fed up of it, though!

As long as you don't mind the time/cost of it, then that's pretty cool. Like you say, if you meet in public places then safety-wise it's cool. You could end up spending serious money on this, though. :)

Whoever said that you can't meet anyone new in Hitchin was talking out of their arse!

Sounds like a great idea! You make little "meet matt chapman" stickers for people to put on their websites/blogs

by Minty at 19:47 on 28th Sep 2005
You are a loon.

I'd go to Hitchen and teach you how to meet people.

Why did you never ask?

Anyway, but on subect - you're looney

Well, there is many pros and cons.
You prolly would have to meet many people who might become a problem for you, and have many embaracing momments dealing with people who dont have anything in common with you. I cant think atm on a apealing layout for such website but tho obvious you should include as much info about you as possible ( not home andress and things who might make psychos harm you and family ofc) so you get contacted mostly by people who feels you have sumthin in common with them. My real suggestion i made on IRC, Travel around the world using Hostelling International, cheap proces and interesting people from everywhere sharing rooms with you, and not expecting some kind of return after they get in touch with you, what would happen alot if you do that thru the webby
