Rmbrme is a clumsily named (all the good URLs are gone, remember?) but possibly quite useful mobile service that is meant to make it easier to, well, remember people.
Rather than some Derren Brown-esque memory training witchcraft, Rmbrme uses your mobile phone to bridge the gap between casually asking for someone’s phone number and getting them to join your social network.
As illustrated by a flash animation on the site’s homepage, you just text the person’s number to Rmbrme’s shortcode and then it will do the rest - texting the person and inviting them to ‘friend’ you in whatever social network you list in your profile.
The stalking applications of this technology are obvious, and it would seem to be a boon to exceptionally lazy Lotharios who would like to ensnare casual acquaintances in their web of seduction but are pressed for time and would prefer their victims did most of the work for them.
Supported networks include Facebook, Twitter, Plaxo, Manhunt and Beebo although the actual SMS service seems to be open only to US carriers at the moment. Surely this would do well in the UK too?
