Snoozester: Wake Your Company Up

Internet is penetrating our day-to-day life deeper and deeper. It even impacts some aspects it is not supposed to have anything in common at all. Could anyone explain me how my waking in the morning is related to Internet? I have just found that absolutely directly.
I believe the problem of employees coming late to work has drawn to a head if we now need a special service to wake them in the morning. I am talking here about Snoozester corporate wake up call services. Here is how it works.
Actually Snoozester has been dealing with waking its users up for quite a long time. The process is arranged as follows: you first register with Snoozester, add from two to fifteen phone numbers (depending on the payment plan), choose the voice (male or female) you are more comfortable to wake up to and specify the schedule for waking you up. And Snoozester will wake you up at exactly the time you need. At that if you feel that waking up in the morning is getting more and more difficult for you, you can choose SecureAwake option and Snoozester will give you several calls until you finally get out of the bed.

Yesterday Snoozester launched a similar service for corporate users. In general the service has not changed much for an end user – functions of the account have remained the same. But now the accounts of end users are gathered in a corporate account. To create such a corporate account an administrator needs to invite employees. It is interesting that they feel that they work with a pure corporate service – something like an additional benefit. A corporate page even includes the logo of the respective company instead of a standard Snoozester logo.
It is still the user who sets the time for waking him or her up but the administrator of a corporate account is able to view and change the users’ accounts settings if necessary.

I can definitely say that this service is very interested and at least something we have not seen before. Finally, web 2.0 is all about innovation. Snoozester also seems to be rather popular - but unfortunately only in the US and Canada since it only supports calls to phones in these two countries.
