So a scenario I run into often, but I'm not sure if this type of service would work very well for me. Before I go into specific cases, I initially wondered why an SMS interface? An app for the phone that works offline/online would be something I would more expect. I tend to meet new people in bulk. For example, I go to meet a new client and get introduced to 5 people. Or I go to a networking event and am bouncing around meeting some new people. In either of these scenarios, your solution wouldn't work well for me. In the first scenario, it would be a pain for me to send 5 different texts and walk through the prompts. So an interface for mass input would be great. In the second scenario, I'm not looking to break away from my conversations to type in information into my phone. This is a much tougher problem because really I want to remember who I just met without having to distract myself from my next conversation. Good luck with SW!

Thank you so much for the input. We have been going back and forth about focussing on a mobile app. Some of the mentors have urged against doing that, since there are already lots of apps to handle more mass input. However, the very next feature we are looking to roll out is the ability to add a contact, location, and a few tags about them in one text. It would look something like this: "Joe Schmoe @Starbucks & Developer, Daughter Sally plays violin, from Boston" I know that Evernote Hello is trying to solve the issue of meeting a bunch of new people at the same time and helps you remember people based on who you met them with. Our focus is making something that is and short and simple as possible to trigger your memory. The ultimate goal is something that requires no active input from the user based on your contacts, your calendar events, what your Google Glasses see and hear. Although, we run into a ton of privacy issues very quickly.
