From their FAQ: "Sending a rmbrME: No charge for the first 2 weeks. After that, you will be charged $0.49 each time you send an invitation (plus standard SMS charges)" HELLO!!?? That's pretty UNsocial to me. GOODBYE.

haven't tried the service yet, @Jim, but the fee will keep the spammers out of the service for sure. That's what freakin sucks about Twitter! Frankly, they could charge $10/message if it meant that I didn't get any viagra ads.

I signed up and I think it's cool. But I don't think I'll use it once they start charging me. I think it'll be clear of spam because the only way I can be spammed is if the spammers know my mobile number - not so easy to come by.

Jim H,
Have to say I did not see that particularity when putting together the review. Thanks for pointing it out.

broozier,
Interesting you say that. Given how rmbrME can ideally be quite useful in a sort of chaotic social networking environment, in which users seek more and more efficient ways in which to make connections, perhaps the $0.49 charge per sent message (after the two-week free trial) will not be a major hurdle. I suppose it all depends on who takes to using the system (professional vs private users, for example).

I'm going to a green business networking event tonight in LA (http://room367.eventbrite.com). I'll see how many people I can meet and who will rmbrME. Then I'll blog all about it.

Not sure how the fee will work out (although at .10 or less a pop I'd totally go for it).
This really is the start of where we need to be. I've always thought that random meetings should never be hindered by a lack of follow up (esp professionally) and many times business cards just don't do it.

Paul (et al): Thanks for the writeup and interesting commentary! This is Gabe, CEO of rmbrME - and I'm glad to see that people think the product is interesting.
If you're social enough that the per-connection charge is a material issue, I wanted to make you aware of a way to offset that. We're running a friendly challenge on Facebook to win a supercool camera. All you have to do is come up with the cleverest status update in support of rmbrME, and it's yours (more or less). Check it out: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=17166394282
Also, we're going to constantly evaluate feedback from our customers WRT the service, and we hope that you'll give it a try and let us know what you think!
