If your name is SpeedDate.com, here’s a great idea for a PR stunt: Mix 8 celebrity bloggers and a SpeedDate.com session, bake at 400 degrees, record, and release the highlight reel on YouTube. That’s exactly what happened in conjunction with Meebo to advertise Meebo’s new SpeedDate app.

Perhaps one of the funniest moments of the video is when Aaron Rowe of wired asks Justine of iJustine.TV, “Why? Would you like to come over and play physician?” Even though we’ll admit you didn’t have much time, try taking it a bit slower next time, Aaron. They have the ability to smell desperation — even across the web.

For those unfamiliar with Meebo.com, the site is a browser based instant messaging service for AIM, Google Speak, Yahoo IM, and more. The SpeedDate.com app on Meebo allows users to participate in SpeedDate sessions through Meebo.
