Hvr.me – Make More Friends On Social Sites


Hvr.meHoverme is a new Firefox extension that will enable you to expand your circle of friends on sites like Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. Hoverme can tell you exactly in which social sites a person does spend his time, so that you can befriend him right away.


This information is extracted from public search results on sites like Bing and Google, and the idea is to let you see at a glance just where people you might have crossed paths with in real life can be found on the Social Web. And note that LinkedIn is also one of the supported services, so that Hoverme has a true professional edge to it, too.


Hoverme is a free product. You can have it installed within minutes, and using it is not really anything that could give you a hard time. Everything boils down to launching a search for the person you want to know more about, and then exploring each social profile on its own to determine where the person is more active.
