“Find gifts for your Facebook friends”

We all experience the problem of finding gifts. To solve this problem Giftri.com has developed a unique gift recommendation engine that mines Facebook profile data to generate personalized gift lists. Recommended gifts are picked from Amazon’s huge product database. To begin the process of finding a gift, you log into Giftri.com with your Facebook credentials and select a friend from your friend-list. The recommendation engine then goes to work and a selection of gift ideas are displayed. You can manually add a gift to the list and rate the suggested gifts. Gift ideas are based on Facebook profile information and the ‘collaborative filtering’ of similar profiles.
