Slydial - The Simplest Ideas are Found While You Work on Something Else

I saw an article in today's Chicago Tribune about a new service called Slydial.

This service is if you need to call someone, but don't want to actually talk to them.

So, when you call their cell with Slydial, you are guaranteed to reach their voice mail.

This way, you can leave them a message - so you can avoid talking to them, while still getting credit for calling them ;-)

The service is free, and they make their money with 30 second ads you have to listen to.

The company behind Slydial, Boston-based Mobile Sphere, found the technology while working on a problem involving roaming voice mail in Europe. 

This lead to the founder saying, "the greatest and simplest ideas are found when you're working on something else."
