wake me up before you go-go

sometimes i am not so good waking up in the morning and coming to work.

is this something that the webternet could solve? this was something that i was wondering at 3 in the morning when i got up and did some googling, i found a couple of sites..

here are the ones i found for less than $5 a month:

http://snoozester.com/

snoozester offers a variety of delivery and repetition options for your wake up calls. when you select the secureawake feature, snoozester will attempt to call you every 3 minutes for 20 minutes until you answer the call and indicate that you are awake. costs about $4/month

http://rminder.com/

not so much a wake-up call service but a reminder service, will text or call you with any reminder you want. syncronizes with most online calenders. cost about $5/month

http://telepixie.com/

looks awful and has the least amount of features but is free, does wakeup calls and other services (joke of the day, etc)

http://morningmonkeys.com/

seems to be geared toward students mostly (or at least somebody with a sense of humor) seems to be very similar to the other services, even with price coming in at about $5/month. also features snooze.

http://iping.com/

iping seems to be the most versatile of the services, separating itself into four virtual characters, “mr.wakeup” will give you wakeup calls. the unique part of this service is you can choose what to wake up to, they offer the standards like weather/horoscopes to the strange.. waking up to tom green? they offer appointment reminders though “ms.reminder”, you can contact a bunch of people with “mr.notify” and most interestingly to me you can schedule medication reminders with “dr.dose” - which i felt was very innovative.

so far personally, snoozester seems to be the best with the secureawake feature, i’ll give telepixie a shot though as it’s free. i can’t help but feel like i’m missing something though. did i miss anything? there has to be other services out there that offer some sort of better call-me-and-wake-me-up solution, right?

with companies like google and free411 paving the way there has to be either something out there currently or on the horizon.
