FANCY BEING WOKEN UP BY A STRANGER EVERY MORNING? THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT

Are you the sort of person who always hits the snooze button when
the alarm starts going off?
Then maybe you need Wakie, a new app that lets a stranger's voice
rouse you out of bed.
Don't worry - this isn't some seedy hook-up app that organises a
liaison with the sort of partner who'd have you running for the door
before 4am Wakie is only conducted through your phone.
When it's time to get up, a random user will call your phone, waking
you up with whatever conversation they please.
Similarly, if you're wide awake and a user in New York needs to hear
your charming British accent to get them moving, then you can serve
as a human alarm clock too.
There really seem to be few drawbacks, as numbers remain anonymous
so it's easy to hang up on an unpleasant caller.
The app was created by Armenian Hrachik Adjamian, and it's already
extremely popular in Russia. Check out the website to download Wakie.
