Wakie is a place to have friendly conversations with people from all over the world.
Wondering how the weather is in Argentina? Ask someone who’s there.
Need advice, but rather not ask your friends? Talk to someone who can offer insight. Books, news, cooking, parenting, business, love, and any other life issue you can think of—On Wakie, you can find someone to talk about it within seconds.
Also, Wakie is the first ever human wakeup service. Here you can set up the alarm clock and you will receive a phone call from a stranger wishing you a good morning. Well, what's so special? There's a twist! Instead of setting up a phone call for yourself, you can play the part of the human alarm clock! That's right—it's not just a robot phone call—it's strangers waking strangers! Try it yourself!
