I met my husband thanks to technology. OK, so it wasn’t online dating or a mobile app, but rather a Web 2.0 tradeshow that found us both catching some fresh air outside an afterparty club, and a number of additional shows in the months following that led us to continued encounters (he lived more than 3,000 miles away at the time – talk about a LONG distance relationship!). For others, fate hasn’t been quite as kind, and with the holiday season coming up, we’re all looking for Mr. Right (or Mr. Right For Now) to share in holiday parties, cozy fireside chats and to kiss as we ring in the new year. What if Mrs. or Mr. Right were only a simple click of the mobile phone away? To help hopeless romantics across the country, mobile app expert, Simon Buckingham, CEO of Appitalism (the mobile superstore) has created a list of top mobile apps to help find that holiday love everyone is looking for.

Below is Simon’s full list for your review:
