WATMM: Get calls from a sexy british robot!

I've been working on this for a while, give it a try:

http://telejoy.com/

It's an automated reminder service that calls you afterwards to see if you actually did the thing you said you'd do. Hopefully the page explains it...

The general idea is it's supposed to help you build new habits / keep your new year's resolutions.

NEW: There's now an instant demo feature, so just punch in your number and it'll call you ;)

This is still in beta, so there's probably bugs, but let me know if you have questions/feedback/problems/etc.

PS: Sorry, it only works in Canada and the United States right now (I can't afford to pay for international calls yet).

how would you make money from this? interesting idea

Selling phone numbers to advertising agencies.

I like it, chaos. I hope this site can be good for you.

But, 1. Telejoy sounds like a Japanese sex-chat service or something.

2. I love these sort of good habit reminders. I use the Habit Streak app. But I think you need a little psychology blurb to convince people that yours is better. Habit Streak go with, 'learning good habits, being reminded to keep at them, and treating them like a game and a streak which you beat', helps train your brain or something. I think you need to make up some psychological babble about how having someone call you, and verbally remind you, is even more beneficial than just using an app.

3. Asking for someone's phone number online. Man, that's stupid and weird and you should definitely be affirming that your site is safe, secure and that you will never sell on the numbers.

4. Put a picture on that site, and a logo or something. So much text reads like a scamsite. Maybe fake some reviews. Here's one:

  Quote

"Telejoy has stopped me crying every morning. Now, when I wake up, I can hear a soothing female voice that makes me not want to die"

 

5. Needs social integration. At least in the email, put a 'post this to Twitter' link or something.

I wish you well and I appreciate the technicality of it. But it's not something I would ever use... only as a prank tool. Imagine pranking someone everyday, for weeks on end, with a phone call at 4am to 'meditate'.

I fucking love it when the phone rings and it's a robot, because it means I WIN.

give her big tits and it's a deal.

Canada is in America tho

I tried to have it prank my girlfriend to ask if she had any... well I tried to prank my gf lets leave it at that.

but there's a verification code txt! darn.

Anyways I like the idea of this but I think Gary's comments #2 and #5 are spot on.

Cool work though man!

well, I've added a demo feature, so now you can have it call you without signing up... give it a try!
