Bracelet features built-in GPS and security alarm system – Springwise. Inside the bracelet, however, is a GPS device which sends a tracking signal and an alarm to the wearer’s “shields” when the bracelet is pulled. With the Basic service these “shields” will be the wearer’s three most trusted friends, who can then call the wearer to check whether they are in danger. If the wearer does not pick up, these friends can track them using the PFO app on their smartphone or notebook.
Alternatively, with the Premium service, pulling the bracelet will send an alarm to the security company G4S. G4S will then call the wearer, ask if they are ok, and request the wearer’s password. If the wearer is in distress, supplies the wrong password or does not pick up, G4S will send out a unit to the wearer’s location.
Online platform helps couples with relationship management. Canadian Tokii is a free site that aims to help couples improve their relationships in a playful, easy way through interactive tools and games. The site’s TradingPost tool, for example, helps couples negotiate for what they want — a back rub, say, in exchange for help washing the car — helping to ensure that neither side ends up feeling put upon. MoodMeter helps each partner stay attuned to the other’s mood, while the LoveZone Quiz helps them discover the best ways to make each other feel loved.
Guardian Soulmates, which was originally launched on The Dating Lab platform, has transitioned over to White Label Dating. Mairead O’Connor, Soulmates Product Manager, discusses the transition. Plenty of comments from users as well about missing features and how ugly they think the site is. Ouch. Transitioning services between platforms and vendors is never easy and Soulmates is learning the lesson the hard way. Hope they get everything sorted out asap.
Off to go chase bridesmaids, have a great weekend!
