Goldenbook
Transforming text messages into delicacies
When you open and read your text messages you will have only five minutes to decide if you want this message saved forever in your Golden Book. Remember, only one message can be saved a day and after your five minutes are up there is no going back.
The Golden Book’ takes another approach to saving those precious messages forever. Once subscribed to the service, you have the chance to save your text messages in a Golden Book. After one year, your mobile operator sends you your custom-made Golden Book. It contains 365 messages, one message saved each day for safekeeping in the Golden Book. Each Book comes with a surprise, it contains an extra foldout page with all the messages you received on your birthday. The service could extend into Golden books filled with images, to be used with phones enabled for picture messaging.
This is not the mobile supermarket- this is a telekatessen product.
