Friday is an app that wants to automatically track your activity in order to provide a history of your communications, additional analysis, and even a search engine for your own life.
With Friday, which now has around 55,000 sign-ups pre-launch, what you’re seeing is sort of like the flip side to Siri. Where you may ask your virtual assistant about things that will happen in the future (what’s my day look like? Can I get sushi nearby?), you ask Friday about things that have already happened.
The interesting thing here is not just that it has access to the history of your communications (phone calls, text messages, emails, etc.), but that it also has access to other events, like photos that were taken, changes in the phone’s status (battery drops, e.g.) as well as activity taking place on third-party services (Facebook or Foursquare checkins, tweets, e.g.).
