Edible Business Cards: Eat me before you call me :)

I never thought contacting you could be so yummy! The cards exist, I think it is an nice concept for a gift, the person who eats the card might certainly remember the taste of it (good or bad) but forget all about the contact details. In which case what does one do? Vomit? Browse the crap? Just kidding of course! Ok, the business person has to make sure the cookie or chocolate bar on which the contact details are devoured tastes good, is fresh and won't poison the recipient. If you must make the card memorable by taste you might have to buy several of them to satisfy individual tastes which makes it costly. Unless you are a chef! In that job it makes perfect sense to actually use it as a card. Perhaps all chefs should adopt them and it might be the perfect gift to give someone who is a cook :)

Set individual modes for every contact

Invisible mode or any other mode on Skype or Messenger, for example, means that all your contacts will see you in that mode. Why not create a new feature that will allow users to set the mode they want for each contact? For example, contacts John, Mary and Adams are set to 'invisible', contacts Frank and Kathy set to 'away' and contacts Jim and Tony set to 'available' etc. Such feature can be particularly helpful when managing a long list of contacts and you don't want to give the impression that you rarely log on to talk to people.

Bars in Europe are filled with so much smoke that can make your eyes itch, red and full with tears if you stay too long. I always wear contact lenses when I go out and never had a problem with smoke. Last time I went out however I wore my glasses and within 20 minutes my eyes started to itch. Within the hour I had to leave with tears in my eyes. Next time you want to be touched by smoke in a smoke-filled bar, don't wear any contact lenses
