| − | Social networks are taking over the web, being Myspace, Facebook, or Twitter. All of these services are great, but they are all lacking one important thing, interaction with the real world. What if this online phone book was more like Facebook. You would have a profile, friends, and groups. But it will all be bases on the fact that everyone has a phone number, be it college students, high school students, working professionals, or business. If you don't have a phone number, we can sell you a phone, or give you a fake number. Here are some ideas for the social aspect.
