ICE Contact Info
Spencer mentioned the ICE contact info trend. It’s basically just a grassroots effort to get folks to enter emergency contact info under a common abbreviation in their cell phone contacts list. There’s a full story at USAtoday.com:
A British paramedic came up with the idea of asking cell phone users to input an entry into their cellular phonebook called ICE for “in case of emergency.” Accompanying that acronym would be the name and phone numbers of the person who should be called if something has happened to the owner of the phone.
I love simple ideas that make things better. The campaign has gone well in the UK apparently, and there’s a push to get it going here in the US too. So create an ICE entry yourself and pass the idea along.
