I'm envisioning a web or phone application to help clue in someone that they've got an issue. If your significant other (or whomever) is being too passive, too upset, too drunk, etc... well this is for you. Once you register this person, you can record an entry every time you notice them repeating
that undesirable action. The service will start sending out a daily/weekly/monthly compendium of all recorded occasions. Come to think of it...this could also be titled 'Nag-o-matic'.
However, the purpose of this site is not to just nag, it's to influence the target to change their ways. This is accomplished by giving the victim a way to register with the site. The registration is a way of saying 'Yes, I have a problem'. (I see no possibility for abuse). Once registered, the client can begin tracking the times that they notice themselves committing that action. Each time they record an action, they get an attaboy. Additional milestones are also rewarded: The number of recorded occurrences by the submitter matches the number of occurrences by the target, the number of recorded occurrences recorded by both submitter and victim has been reduced by x%, 0 occurrences noted by both.
Additional options for this business are to charge the victim to turn off the notifications or even to start making false records showing improvement...for a fee of course.
Almost pissed myself laughing the first time I saw this.

You mean the client can begin tracking the times
YOU have noticed and recorded the action. |
|
| |
//Each time they record an action, they get an
attaboy.// |
|
| |
How about just putting a spiked collar on the
'target'? When he/she offends, give it a yank.
When he/she is a good dog, don't; give 'em an
attaboy, maybe a doggy biscuit. |

Damn toodles. If this got big, I envision a facebook
like site where you send and receive the tallies of
all the people you interact with on a daily basis.
The things you do that they do and don't like.
What makes this different is the need for phone
technology, preferably smart, and the openness to
vote on an individual's personality and also the
freedom to chose the parameters, which facebook
has never enforced except through some simple
side games and the 'like' and 'comments'
sections. That being said, did any third parties
get financial credit for Farmtown? It would be a
nastier version of facebook. With 'judgements'
instead of simple 'comments'. Just what we need. |

Title absolutely sucks though. <generates a 'makes
shitty titles' tab for toodles, sends a ping> |
|
| |
I should have the ability to delete judgement tabs,
good or bad.
However, clout will be gained with additional tabs
so, it would be a tossup... Delete the really bad
ones. |

There's always the Clavin route. [link] |

Since you entered no summary, may I suggest one? |
|
| |
"But, It Ain't What You Think It Is." |
|
| |
You could also change the title to "I Have A
Problem." |
|
| |
"He's going to tell them... about the fishbone" |
|
| |
I have to admit, it sounded better before I wrote it down...when it was an opt-in concept and more of a self-help type tool. As I started writing, the more sinister nature of the tool came out. |

Everyone can use a little boning sometime. |

There's a precedent here where you can enter someone's numberplate and complain about their driving. |
|
| |
Should someone with that numberplate stumble across the site, they can check whether any complaints have been lodged against their plate. Can't remember the address of the site right now... |
|
| |
Seems like that driving-complaint site works the same
as [toodles]'s site. It's for the complainer. |
|
| |
Why would someone check to see if people are
complaining about their driving? (which might have
been your point, [zt]?) |
