How many people do you have on the phones? How long do they work? I'd like to see a smaller plan size, something I could do on a one-off basis to someone on twitter.

I wonder how this would scale...using Mechanical Turk?

Outsourcing to a country like India could work.

This seems great - the only thing stopping me from buying is knowing how annoyed my room mate would get after the first week or two. Is there any plan to make "Monday / Friday" plans or something less frequent?

Why not buy your room mate their own reminders as a gift?

I'm not sure that I get it. Isn't this a bit shallow? Surely it takes some of the joy out of being told that you're awesome if you have to pay people to tell you that you're awesome? A bit like paying people to be your friend?

Create a community - I'm sure if you created a separate section for people who would love to call your customers (and maybe even make a couple bucks), it would be therapeutic for them as well:)

Pricing?

Put a form in your page for people to contact you. No email. Don't make me open my e-mail client just to get in touch with you, make it easy.

If this takes off, how long before the "you suck" phone call service is launched?
