In Your Proximity & Proximity Reassurance (on linked pages, scroll down screen to view)

In Your Proximity offers ...

"Anonymous reassurance by the number of people in proximity having the same emotions, fears or opinions. Reassurance and support in an anonymous local network.

In Your Proximity is a service for your mobile phone. By subscribing, you are able to see the number of people currently in your local surroundings who are in a similar emotional state as yourself. The service lets you know that you are not the only one suffering from a particular fear, insecurity or having a certain opinion or belief in your local surroundings."

What you can do with Proximity Reassurance ...

"Collect local but anonymous support from people who made a similar decision in your local surroundings. A mobile service that automatically swaps and collects reasons and experiences for a decision you have made from other users in geographical proximity who made the same decision."

Well, I know I would sign up for these services right now if I just knew there were a slew of other people nearby who shared my fear of mobile phones.
