For those who haven't used Everyme: when you install the app, it asks you to link up your phone contacts (not stored on their server), FB, Twitter, and LinkedIn

For those who haven't used Everyme: when you install the app, it asks you to link up your phone contacts (not stored on their server), FB, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts. I think it then identifies your most important contacts and places them into circles for you.
My point? Of those 200k people in circles, only 24k have explicitly opted in:
Specifically, he says that 24,000 people have created Everyme accounts. Because of the way Everyme is designed, that’s only a small part of its social footprint.
The other ~175k, which includes my mom, dad, girlfriend, and brother, might not know Everyme actually exists.
Everyme has been advertising very heavily (5by5, Daring Fireball) leading up to its launch, so I don't know if this is a win or not. At least they're putting on the full-court PR press--smart, given that they're selling a social network. Best of luck to them.
