 Besides, I just look for people wearing a collar like myself.

Here's the thing... Not all furries are so loud and proud. I don't wear a collar and I'm a furry... I wear a bandanna <<; but that could be interpreted as a lot of other things.

I agree we do need something that would just be normal for the shaved things that are humans... but something only we would know... Would love to see if anyone that goes to my school is a furry other than my friend...

yeah...i agree,it would be awesome if we invent something that allows us to show we are furries, but to non-furs it just looks like a normal thing...

I like the idea, but a handshake will require two people to physicly shake hands, so it wont be easy to distinguish a furry in a croud.
I guess a pawprint tshirt or something like that is as far as you can go without attracting questions from teh "normal" people.

Or we make an iphone app which sends your gps location to a central server. Then you could notify when another furry is within 25meters.
Kinda like TomTom, buddy,s program.

not everyone has an iphone though...although i suppose in some cases we could distinguish a furry through their knowledge of anthro art in a convo or other things only furries could know  :P

Getting something from pawstar is usually distinguishable, and an iphone app would help for those who have iphones. Or if we get some engineers or something we can modify some kind of cellphone or something to work for this purpose and give a tutorial, although it might be slightly difficult.


Random idea: It will require programmers and web designers of moderately advance skill, but basically we make a furry database, people put there location, age, and contact methods, and then if people are within a certain age and location range of each other it notifies of furries in the area. Now that I think of it it actually wouldn't be that difficult.
Ex. Someone is 15 and lives in Colarado and someone 17 lives less than a mile away, it will send them both email telling them someone is in there area and give them an option to try to talk to the other person.

You mean like this? http://ifpl.cattech.org/

anyhow, I think a wave would be better. It could even be something kind of subtle, but not so subtle that it's unnoticeable. That way there doesn't have to be awkward physical contact.
