Cool, thanks. It's actually a slightly different idea though, because (as far as I understand it) highlight doesn't signal your interests, it just shows who you're connected to. Maybe more like a class ring than actual clothing?

I'm pretty sure it leverages your interests (pulled from facebook) in some way. FWIW, highlight is one of those ideas that seems great in theory, but I could never see it being a huge success. I just don't have the desire to randomly meet friends of friends that happen to be around me. It seems like it would be an awkward - almost forced - connection. Call me old school, but I much prefer organically developed relationships.

I think a lot of people think the same way, which is why these location/social startups haven't caught on more. It seems like the big question is whether their problems are inherent or are actually just software problems. I can imagine a program being eventually developed that's as good or better at making successful introductions than the best salonnière who ever lived. At that point it would be worth the added artificiality (at least to me).
