Here is an interesting piece of social networking software. Basically, it just scans the contact lists of two PDAs and shows the owners any people that they know in common. If one of the PDAs does not have Meeple installed a trial version is installed automatically when the search begins.

Meeple is little more than a novelty at this point, but would make for a cool feature of a larger offering if the function was intelligent enough to do its queries automatically, say over Bluetooth, creating an audit trail of the common contacts you have with people you meet with throughout the day. Being able to preset certain contacts to set off an indicator would be cool as well.
