Social Manager

Do you have the same experience as me? Suddenly found that it’s already a long time since you contacted the friend last time, who was the best friend in your college life. Suddenly found that it’s already a long time since last time you contacted brothers/sisters who you should care if everything was fine recently. Suddenly found that it’s already two years since you contacted the friend who is a lawyer. But now you need his help … oh, I’m hesitating now if I can ask for his help ……
“Social Manager” can help set an interval (contact frequency) for all the friends of you (who are in your address book), and meanwhile you can set the preferred contact way (call? SMS? Or other) for him/her. For example, if you hope to contact friend-A at least once per month, and the phone-call is the preferred way to contact him; this tool will remind you to call him if you didn’t contact him in the past month. Also if you called him today, the next contact date will be deferred one month later automatically.
