Good Idea, I think you will make it. Useful tool mostly for people on sales, and by that I mean everybody.

- sspencer 19y agoPeople in sales, you mean? I would not call that everybody. To contribute, I'm not sure this website does anything that I would want. It seems like sort of an address book + note-taking utility. Even if I had an online address book (I don't; Facebook keeps track of anyone I care about), I doubt I would want or need to take notes in it. As someone else wrote, why do I need to remember what people like? Facebook has a laundry list of my friends' interests. Further, anyone amongst my Facebook friends is someone I actually know in real life, and therefore am unlikely to forget about. Maybe as a Facebook app? But even then, I'm not sure I see the value-add. Maybe I am just not within the target demographic...
- chaostheory 19y agoI guess the front page still isn't strong enough to convince everyone... you have good points - and we're working on it. right now what we have is a very basic version of what we'll be eventually pushing - which meets our needs but may not meet everyone elses. we just had to make a choice of either being cool vaporware or something that just came out "why do I need to remember what people like? - anyone amongst my Facebook friends is someone I actually know in real life" out of curiousity and research - how many people do you like? how many friends do you have on facebook?
- sspencer 19y agoFacebook friends weigh in at around 65. There are really only about 30 I give a damn about, though. The rest get a very restrictive, business-purposes only profile. I am extremely hesitant to release too much information online, and only grant friendship privileges to people I know and trust in real life. Granted, I do know people who have hundreds upon hundreds of friends. But the question is, do you really care about all those people, enough to catalog by hand what they like and dislike? Haha, maybe I'm just antisocial. Good luck regardless; I admire anyone with the drive to release a pet project. Even if your project fails, you tried. And I'm sure it was fun to make...
- chaostheory 19y agoI hate to ask for more stuff but this would help us out if you don't mind - how often do you actually talk to/see the 30 on your list (beyond 2 liner ims and throwing virtual sheep)? what percentage is very often, sometimes, not often?
- sspencer 19y agoHmmm. I'd say about half of those 30 I see on a regular basis. The rest I either converse with in emails or IRC or whatever. The core 30: Very often = 50 % Sometimes = 50 % The other 30 or so (business associates): Not often = 100% Hope this helps. And if it is any further help when you move to the facebook platform, I try not to install facebook apps I can't see the source of. I know of several other people with this mentality; you may wish to publish source eventually to broaden your audience. Just a thought. Again, hope this helps! :)
- chaostheory 19y agothanks - it really helps =D by source - you mean code or author?
