Please note that due to the frequently-changing nature of Facebook’s security structure, you may experience some difficulty in loading this application on some accounts. You might have to give it a few seconds, or up to a minute, to load.

For Stefan Sinclair’s “History and Philosophy of Computing” (MM3B03) course at McMaster. Coding time: upwards of 100 hours solid. Facebook account with at least 30 friends required!

Design by Carissa Bowerman and Amie Davey. Coding for interfacing with Facebook via PHP done by myself and Amie Davey. CSS and Javascript (jQuery) by me. Internet Explorer is not currently compatible, sorry!

Professor Sinclair on ‘YouKnowYourFriends’: “This is an amazing Facebook application – I love the idea of it and I think the execution is outstanding…”

Update, March 27, 2010: Moved the program files over to my own web server (from McMaster’s). I was experiencing difficulty in loading the app. I narrowed the problem down to some difficulty with the “Affiliations” information category. I’ve just removed it from the information sample pool for now.
