This is a messenger service intended for mobile phones. You are supposed to buy the voodoo messenger service together with your girlfriend, boyfriend, or maybe with your best friend. It can only store one number, which it automatically sends all your messages to. The messages consist of emotions. With the messages you tell your partner not how you feel but how he or she makes you feel at the moment. Both of you have your own avatar, and they are vulnerable like voodoo dolls. When you send an emotion, it affects the others doll. The thing that you want to do in reality but can’t; to make the other person feel what you are feeling, to give back the negative or positive energy you’ve gotten and that way relieve yourself from it – gets possible with the voodoo messenger. When you send a message it also affects your own doll. If you send an emotion which have caused you a lot of negative energy your doll will regain that energy. Let’s say that you share the service with your girlfriend which you for some reason are disappointed with, but when you talk to her the message doesn’t seem to get through. It’s really frustrating and makes you feel powerless. Her actions make you generate negative energy. In an attempt to relieve yourself from the negative energy and make her understand that she maybe should stop and think for a minute, you send the emotion to her. Her voodoo doll feels worse, yours is a little bit happier. It gives you some satisfaction and makes it harder for your girlfriend to close her ears. It can be used as a way to improve communication and make it more straightforward. It can be used as a way of getting closer and more vulnerable to how you make the other person feel or as an indicator of how the relationship is going. Or just as some kind of game you play. I’m mostly curious about how people would use such a service
