WooMe


The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.

Speed dating is all the rage these days - where you literally spend five minutes chatting to lots of different people to see if you make a connection.

And now this billion dollar dating phenomenon has invaded the web and you will find it at WooMe.

The idea of this site is to meet five people in five minutes. You will need a webcam and working microphone to take part.

Registration is simple and free, and the usual "dating site" profile options are there for you to complete.

But the real fun starts when you sign up to a session. Click the Sessions tab at the top to see what is on offer and if you do not like the look of any of them why not start your own session.

Before signing up to a session you can use the big green button on the left to check your equipment is up to scratch.

Then you just have to sit there and sparkle with charm as the site's software takes care of the rest.

WooMe is still in beta testing and is completely free for you to hook up with anyone else on the site.

But if you decide you have been "woo'd", you will be asked to pay $1 (£0.50) to get each other's contact information.
