This concept seems strange, a random person calling to wake you up.

It makes me think back to an annoying app idea I had, Spam the Spammer - the idea for this was, anyone that sends me spam, I send it back to them and crash their account. Don't worry HN community, I didn't build this product.

Back to the topic, their features on having recorded celebrity voices seems a bit stalkish to me. I don't see any real need for an app to call me to wake me up. I'm a heavy sleeper, and usually set about ten alarms each morning - this works fine for me.

I'd expect this app to be semi- faddish.

I'd have loved to see Spam the Spammer come to fruition!

Lol, it would actually enjoy it, but if other people did it to me, that would suck big time.

I'd assume, if I built it, people would spam the crap load out of me, just by spite.
