If you're looking for a way to keep your promises to yourself and you love social media, you're going to want to download the GetUpp app. This new app uses peer pressure to keep you from breaking promises to yourself.
The app is simple to use. Just sign up, and then post what you would like to do and where and when you would like to do it. You must arrive at the location and check into it at the given time you listed in the app. Friends can vote on whether or not you will fulfill your commitment and the results are posted online to Facebook. Looks like someone won't be missing the gym ever again -- I couldn't bear the ridicule.
