Virtual and Real Convergence Opportunities, related to Valentine's Day

This is one of those fascinating areas with lots of surprises, the merger of the virtual and the real. We've written about gold farmers who make real money out of creating virtual properties and we've written about augmented reality coming through mobile phones to our daily lives. Now there is a great new example of it from - yes, once again - Flirtomatic (and honestly, neither Alan nor I have any ownership nor any shares in Flirtomatic, we just love the service for its innovations).

So yes, regular readers of our blog know Flirtomatic offers lots of virtual gifts that its users buy and send to each other. They range from virtual red roses (selling over a million dollars worth per year) to virtual kisses to the more exotic, such as the virtual boob job and the virtual marriage proposal rings, etc. Now Flirtomatic has moved into the virtual-and-real convergence area, with, yes.. the real world gifts to Flirtomatic members. For Valentine's Day 2009, Flirtomatic has introduced the ability to send heart-shaped chocolates and "panty roses" - which is, how can I explain? Hey, you HAVE to see this, its so cool. Check out Helen Keegan's blog with the before and after pictures. That explains Flirtomatic's gift of panty roses. Very clever (thanks Helen, our Technokitten, for the pictures, this time pictures truly are better than a thousand words).

Meanwhile, a little update on Flirtomatic. They've expanded abroad already as we said before. Now on their numbers. Flirtomatic has over one million users, more mobile than web, who generate 1 million messages per day, 21 million web page views and 130 million WAP page views. See more at www.flirtomatic.com

Anyone who has not read the free 30 page excerpt of my sixth book Mobile as 7th of the Mass Media? The excerpt has 2 full chapters, the foreword - and one case study out of the 16 in the book, which is.. Flirtomatic. So do write to me at tomi (at) tomiahonen (dot) com and ask for the book excerpt to read the case study on Flirtomatic and get much more insights into this ground-breaking service.
