Job Search 2.0 Week – Another Idea

The cell phone profiler:

I think the first-ever edition of the Gillmor Gang I listened to was the Attention Gang. I was in Sweden and listened to Seth Godin
complain about the hassle of being available almost 24/7 nowadays. And
I thought, well one of the problems is that cell phone profiles are
really limited. Yes, there are 3-5 presets depending on the phone which
you can even edit. But that is obviously only half the cake. What you
really want is a smart app on your computer which synchs with the
phone. The app lets you select a setting for each contact via check
boxes.

Example "private evening with family":
– all calls to contacts tagged "work" go to mailbox
– all calls to contacts tagged "friends" alert silent/vibration
– calls from CEO/manager/daughter/son ring

You get the idea. To me it is the only way the notion of various profiles makes sense. Maybe this could be an extension for Blue Phone Elite…
