Some MySpace engineers have defected and taken their social network expertise to create a new web application called ‘Gravity‘ which attempts to determine your interests from your FaceBook and Twitter streams, and then help you connect with other like-minded individuals.
The company’s ultimate aim is twofold. For users, they can see who, in any given network, actually shares their interests. “For example, if a user tweets about an Interpol concert, the band would show up in their visualization, allowing them to connect to others that share that interest,” says Anand. (Just imagine the possibilities for a dating site.)
In particular, I like their graph visualizations that they call ‘Gravity Interest Graph’. The real factor behind their success or failure, tho, probably lies in the accuracy of their predictions on Interests.
I ran across this in search of tools to help with security features with Facebook, you may want to try it out it worked for me.
