Seriously, I thought someone was pulling my leg when I saw this. The most featured new function on the recently released Fotochat iPhone app is something called, ?Blow your Love.?
Yikes. Okay, well that got my attention. Here's the scoop: Turns out the app plugs into the Fotochat dating community, allowing users to blow into the microphone end of their iPhones to find nearby Fotochatters ? based on age, city and profile ? who also just blew into his or her device. Photos of matches are then displayed, which lets the user literally chat up the newfound connection right on the handset. 
This wacky ?app du amour? comes from a French-based company called UTEL, who of course also created the Fotochat dating network. It claims that there are already 1.4 million users in the community, though it's unclear how many of them are in France or here in the States (or whether the stat is even true. I have some doubts).
I don't know what to make of this. I?m glad to see creative implementations of unique features, but this one's kind of out there. I went to the site to see if the app or the company was for real, and saw several large company logos ? like Virgin, McDonald's, etc ? under the ?Partners? section. Looks good, but that doesn't prove anything, so I looked around and also saw this when I clicked on ?Historic?: 
Talk about your really, really poor translations. I can't figure out what it's trying to say. But wait. It gets even better. The full press release had me in stitches. I?m putting it here for your reading pleasure. (Now, I do not endorse this app, nor have I even tried it. In truth, I?m actually a little afraid of this one. This is here purely for your entertainment.)

There are far too many cockamamie apps to try and cover them all, but this one had me laughing from Hello. If you?re tempted to try this out, you?re a braver person than I am. Here's what you need to know, in a nutshell:
•You have to register to the app work
•There are 3 versions: Fotochat Lite (free to search), Fotochat Silver ($11.99, to send unlimited priority messages to Fotochatters for a month) and Fotochat Gold ($30.99, to send unlimited priority messages to Fotochatters for 3 months)
•Some negative reviews on iTunes accuse this of being a fake service, with bots or paid people chatting with users. Can't say whether that's true or not, but proceed at your own caution.
