SMC2F: Helping Socalize


I got a call from one of my friends asking me if I had called. Shamelessly I admitted that I had not called because that was the truth; but the fact was that I had always wanted to call him but finding a non-busy slot which is an intersection of not-busy slot of my friend and the not busy-slot of me was null for a good long time. Nevertheless to say we never called each other for a long time. Nonetheless we eventually ended up talking for a quite a few minutes.

I guess this is a very common scenario and most of us can relate to this in one form or other. We want to socialize but do not know when or how. When the number of days from the lasttime we called increases, the resistance to make the connect increases. So the connect is not made for a long time and sometimes it is a life time.

Can technology help? Mobile phones are omni present. They have our contact telephone number and they have a good memory. Why not mix all this up and enable Smart Missed Call to Connect two Friends (SMC2F) application?

SMC2F is a program running on your phone which keeps a watch on the call and the message log of your phone and is aware of friends in your contact list. Simple analysis determines which friend in the contact list has not been called for a while now and the smart applications calls the friends number and disconnects before the call is picked by the friend and goes back to sleep. Allowing the two friends to make the voice connect.

Is there such an ap? Go figure out.
