FriendCircle

Have hundreds of acqaintances? Tried of the irrelevant newsfeed on Facebook and find it difficult to manage?

My team recently developed a simple Facebook app that analyses your friend circle and identifies who is important to you. We believe future models of Social Trend Analysis and Personalized Marketing will target such information.

It automatically figures out who’s important to you using carefully researched heuristics. It saves you a lot of effort! And just in case we are wrong, we even allow an intuitive interface for you to modify your friend circle.

We were surprised with the initial results! Hopefully you will be too! Especially, if you’re single 😉

Sneak Preview:

We did this hack in 24hours. The project is still  at alpha. Needs some work before we want to release it. At this moment its an invitation-only access. If you would like to try it, leave us a note!
