"keeping up with relatives" I've needed something for keeping up with friends, since I don't have many relatives. While fb news feeds tell me what's going on with my friends ON fb, the only out-of-band reminder I have is just birthdays. I thought about this for a long time, and I need it. Problem is, I'm not sure if anyone else really does. And even if they do, people might not admit to using it, which makes for a distribution problem. Thoughts?

A birthday reminder? The guy who made Bebo also ran a birthday reminder service which he has since returned to. According to a TechCrunch article last year, it makes $4M/yr in fees. Back in the dot-com boom, the startup I worked for built a similar service. It was very popular. In fact, it was so popular we... shut it down to work on a sort of web-based ERP framework. WHOOPS! But yeah, there's probably room for another birthday reminder service. http://www.birthdayalarm.com http://www.birthdayalarm.com http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/11/whats-next-for-bebos-founders-back-to-birthday-alarm/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/11/whats-next-for-bebos-fo...
