I would never want to allow someone the power to wake me up when they want to. That would be so annoying!

The only difference from a regular boring alarm clock to Sleep.FM's Social Alarm Clock, is the tone that wakes you. You set the clock and when it goes off your alarm message(s) is the tone that wakes you. Whether it's Happy Birthday, wake up old lady dont forget to take your medicine, the meeting has moved to a different location, good morning girlfriend/boyfriend/best friend i wanted to share this new song with you( you hear it), hey X i'll meet you for breakfast at denny's before work, im sorry i wont be in the carpool today, dont take i95 huge traffic jam, it's snowing go back to bed, etc, etc....

I wonder rms did you happen to view a promo vid of ours? Knowing that is helpful...

It's like having... a spouse! THE HORROR. (Seriously, I can imagine the use for people that specifically need to get someone else out of bed--it's like a pager that's really, really loud. But again, that's all it is--an Internet-to-audio-pager gateway.)

So how many times has the sound of your alarm clock informed you of something pertinent to your day, made you laugh or allowed you to remotely share a moment with someone close to you? It hasn't...

For those who want to continue to wake up to just some meaningless noise can continue to do so... But, hey it's the 21st century and now through Sleep.FM we can wake up to personal pieces of communication from those closet to us or those we allow!
