Facebook is a website where lots of people dropping in every day. It is nice to your friends to follow and see what they experience. But it can also be overwhelming: a network of tens and hundreds of friends status updates, photos and shared links per day can not all follow. Jildy has a solution for this. This service has a few days ago an iPhone app, which promises that your Facebook updates in a smarter way to filter. So keep you informed of developments around people you care about and read about topics that really interest you. All superfluous ( clutter ) remains out of sight.
Jildy is not just another social network service. The service has a strange history , dating back to the social search engine Wowd. When it was shut down were the patents owned by Google, came seven major technical mensenbij Facebook and find a new company was founded with money from former Wowd investors. Facebook appears to license the patents, while now owned by Google.
For those who already get lost in this maze property and patents, we can also make it easier: Jildy's just very convenient. You can create lists them so you can easily track all kinds of subjects. There are four possible types of lists, based on:
- Keywords
- friends of friends
- characteristics of friends (eg, gender or location)
- Facebook Lists
Do you have a Facebook list with only family members, you will find that in Jildy back. In addition, you can create a customized list about topics such as skiing, birthdays, music, Apple news and whatever else you find interesting. By default, the app has a Happy feed available, with keywords such as 'birthday', 'fun' and 'holiday'. Your first activity is the adaptation of those keywords, because if you will have many Dutch friends 'birthday', 'congratulations' and 'hurray' better results. Jildy also gives suggestions for new lists based on topics or on the basis of names. The last option (s) is similar to how Facebook lists now works. You can be in the app also some statistics on your Facebook network to see, as the number of men and women.
Create a new topic with related keywords.Create a new list Jildy with the green plus sign.
On these topics is now apparently a lot of talk on Facebook.
Jildy import your Facebook lists, but does so in a not so nice way: you get the names of the persons on the list to see, not the name of the lists. I therefore using the names 'Prince', 'iron man' and 'Osseweijer' sort themselves out that it was a list of Apple-related persons are. Do you have many lists and many friends, you are very difficult. That is handy Jildy within each list a handful of best-scoring singles people or topics, so you immediately get to see the main news. Notifications are not in the app, but they will be available in a future update. Once one of your friends on Facebook, the word 'winter' calls, you get a warning. Furthermore Jildy currently limited to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to expand it would be handy.
Properties of your Facebook friends are also viewable.
Remarkable is also the band Jildy with Google, because Google recently bought the company Katango, which offers similar functionality to find to filter and organize. Jildy has 7 employees and a bag of cash in the amount of $ 650,000 to make a success of it.
Jildy also imports your Facebook lists, let alone see surnames.
