Europe’s Singles Get Help: Parrot teams up with meetic

Parrot, the leader in wireless peripherals around the mobile phone, today announced its partnership with Meetic, the European leader in online dating services.

Technology is now being used to provide singles with an original, surprising and futuristic concept: a wall featuring 16 Parrot wireless digital photo frames will be set up by meeticLive hostesses during special evenings organised by Meetic in France, Spain and England from November 2007 to June 2008.

Thanks to the walls of Bluetooth® digital photo frames, singles taking part in meeticLive evenings will have their photo taken along with their name using Bluetooth digital cameras or camera phones. Photos are sent instantly via Bluetooth to the “dating wall”: a fun and original way of discovering the singles present and tracking them down.

The Parrot PHOTO VIEWER 7’’ wireless digital photo frames will be displayed in France, England and Spain between November 2007 and June 2008. The campaign will give Parrot an even higher profile online thanks to the monthly Meetic newsletter. Finally, competitions will be staged every month during the evenings to allow singles across Europe to win Parrot DF7220 wireless digital photo frames.
