I find the concept repulsive. I'd put it in a nicer way but I can't think of a lighter word that'd fit if I found out one of my friends or loved one was doing that to me. It seems your girlfriend took it well and it brought you closer to your dad so I'm glad it's worked out well and I can certainly see the appeal as someone who spends a lot of time at work and has trouble keeping up with people. But I think it should require some human interaction, as in either automate notifications telling the user to message one of his contacts, or automate messages but make it so the user has to press send. That's the minimum amount of interaction that I personally feel is necessary to not cheat on the emotional/societal contract that a message to a friend/lover represents.
