    A sort of "Online Mr Hudson".....

    What I'm looking for is some sort of.....

    Application / web thingy which runs my life....

    A sort of conceirge service....

    Knows what films I like and recommends... offers to purchase?

    Knows that a new play is in town or a favourite comedian is selling tickets... and advises me automatically..... offers to buy them...

    Knows that I enjoy beach holiday's and knows that my contract will soon be up and contacts some holiday companies for me for quotes.

    Knows I failed my MOT - contacts garages for quotes / books an appointment for a retest...car insurance / house insurance.... etc

    Knows it's my missus' birthday etc... sends flowers / card from moonpig...

    Aren't these called wives?

    I can't really see how this would be worth it. How are they going to know your car failed its MOT. You'd have to tell them and what is wrong with it. Probably quicker and easier to get the quotes yourself.

      It's called "thinking and making a decision".

      Failing that get a Centurion Card and use their concierge service.

            What GetFriday can't handle


            1. Anything illegal. Won't be done. Obviously.
            2. Anything unethical. Please don't ask us to write your Econ 236 final paper.
            3. Anything that is not exactly comfortable as per "normal" business standards. We'd rather not help you catalogue risque lingerie. It would be a little strange for us at the office.
            Useless.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                How exactly does this online personal slave company make money if you don't want to pay?

                  Well..................

                  If enough people sign up, companies will be leaping over themselves to join as suppliers, a very small fee per sale? ... - e-Slaves (trademark will be applied for) will search out the best deals on insurance / holidays / books I want to read / blah blah....

                  The e-Slave will analyse my spending patterns and will adapt accordingly - overtime it will know what I want before I do.

                  Anybody interested in a Plan-B?

                    um....good luck with that.
