Virtual wife reminds you to eat healthy
Description Click to Edit
We’ve seen a lot of products and services targeting “metabo” fighters—those typically middle-aged salarymen trying to rid themselves of the few extra inches around the mid-section associated with the dreaded metabolic syndrome. Of those, the “Virtual Wife” service from Metaboinfo.com has to be one of the best.

Subscribers to the free service can choose from one of four virtual wives, who include a cute maid café waitress, a cool domineering analyst, a motherly nurse, and a fashionable nail artist, and even pick her name. Users then input their height, weight, and lifestyle habits.

In return, they receive 4 emails daily from their virtual wife that include nagging reminders not to engage in unhealthy habits and suggestions for reaching their ideal body weight—all in a tone of voice appropriate to the chosen character.

What? No "nagging husband"? Men don't nag or that wouldn't work for women? Maybe women will get a nagging (female) friend or mother service?
