This seems like one step backwards from social networks. It's difficult maintaining information about your contacts, which is one of the strongest points of sites like facebook. You might look into developing some of these applications for the various social networking platforms (the contact-reminder seems pretty neat).

you're right - right now it doesn't scale for all of your contacts; but it is useful for immediate family like your cousin or sister or a few good friends. There are other kinks to work out as well - some known and some you guys will probably point out

Yeah that's what we're focused on doing right now - moving part of it to facebook/open social

You know what's funny? I got the idea for this because I started to hate how useless friendster and myspace were for real friends and I hated fake pokemon friends (gotta collect them all for your profile)
