Why was it created?
MagicMinder was created because its founder one day realized that he was not keeping in touch with many people even though he found them interesting and likeable.
MagicMinder.com addresses this problem by
sending out random but regular reminders to touch base with friends and business contacts. It is the only reminder service using the benefits of randomness.
Why randomness?
Randomness works because it's
- Easy: There's no need to pick reminder dates or
repeat intervals. Just enter or import a list of names.
- Natural: It would be strange to touch base, say,
every first of the month. Random reminders emulate a more natural "out of the
blue" effect.
- Serendipitous: Unexpected reminders will often seem
magically meaningful, motivating you to act on them.
Not only will MagicMinder enable you to stay in touch. It will
enable you to foster relationships through the effect of making contact "out of the
blue". More than the traditional call or email on someone's birthday, touching base
with no apparent reason will re-enforce your relationships in a powerful way. Well, the relationship will be nurtured even if you tell the other person about MagicMinder (thus lessening the out-of-the-blue effect), because people will be grateful for learning about MagicMinder... ;-)
