As Facebook likes to point out, the amount of data we share online is growing exponentially.
This of course means that there is plenty of opportunity to aggregate and present social data in value-added ways. Start-ups like ShoutFlow, Summify and Tripbirds hope to capitalize on this trend. But perhaps the simplest, most effective way to do this is to stack rank your friends' Facebook likes and present it back so you don't miss anything fun or worthwhile. Lev Steshenko of Campusfood and I indulged in this type of feature-plugging during the TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon back in May.
B1llboard determines what the top music, TV shows, movies, video games etc. are in your social graph and sends you an email looking something like this:
Please click on the albums/video games/TV shows etc. and buy them. We monetize via affiliate links (or rather would like to since setting up product links is still painful even if services like Viglink are trying to change that).
The hack seems even more interesting now that Facebook opened up the app privacy floodgates and publishes all your activity to the ticker. Top apps based on usage and most popular check-ins would be great natural extensions - someone should continue this hack:)
Here's the 40sec live demo:

similarly but it is a little bit of luck sometimes that doesn.
Being the goal oriented couple we are, my husband and I found it especially difficult to find ourselves on the
losing end of our quest. Having sex at this time helps you in getting pregnant fast and naturally.
