Good point. We will try to lower it + have more information present soon. In the meantime for everyone looking at it: NeedleHunt is the first free social grap

Good point. We will try to lower it + have more information present soon. In the meantime for everyone looking at it: NeedleHunt is the first free social graph search engine for talent. Anyone can use it to search for anyone. Our proprietary database has over 25 million people, including their full social identity. In other words, our system catalogs hundreds of millions of social profiles and consolidates them into our very simple profile format, making them searchable at the same time.

What is proprietary about your graph search engine? I guess you mean you're licensing someone else's tech? edit: Wow, huge claims. Hundreds of millions of social media accounts, FULL INFO on 25 million people? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence that doesn't demand I give you such ridiculous, completely irrational permissions on my facebook account. Everything about this screams "product manager" who is licensing someone else's tech, and is making exaggerated claims to make a quick buck through some angle. Totally slimy feel to this, and the fact you're basically "lol whoops my bad!!" when people bring up the stupid permission request tells me all I need to know. double edit: btw, you'll "try" to lower it? This was three hours ago you said this.

  No, we built this ourselves and are pretty proud of that. I don't need your data from facebook man, let me know if you want me to delete your profile and I am more than happy to do so. P.S. its been a busy day and I want to deploy things the right way, feel free to change scope in the auth.

Why not put this sort of information on the site more prominently? I didn't even see the footer links until I went back to the page to double check. I don't use Facebook so couldn't make use of your site beyond that.

  We are brainstorming some solutions for this as I type. Understood.

"Our proprietary database has over 25 million people, including their full social identity" Instantly I assume you have built your database by harvesting your users' information. You should request the least amount possible, then request more permission later as required or as a exchange ("To view results/this profile, please authorise more permissions" or the like)
