With all the twits of the world checking their phones 10 times a minute for updates, it's a good idea to bring a different level of social interaction to your service. @Gabriel I think that this is a great concept, as I am a fan of mobile social networking.

It's pretty standard here. - Switching Bluetooth on does not significantly lower standby time of your device. It does, however, lower it when you use Bluetooth to transfer files or use a headset. Both is not done by aka-aki. - You can stay in touch with your friends using aka-aki. Even if they are somewhere else. aka-aki uses an Internet connection to keep you posted about your friends' activity. You can even send messages to them for a fraction of the standard SMS cost. - If you don't want to visible to others: Just switch Bluetooth off. And you can block your profile for certain users as well. - And not to forget: We already have a lot of fun using aka-aki. Imagine all the people you never met. Regards, Gabriel aka-aki team Hi there,

That part of the idea seems a little bit creepy to me. Anyone else have an opinion on this?
