Thanks to Apple's iphone and smart phones we can now find the app for almost everything. But the apps are not limited to only the cell phones. We can see them on the PCs as well and also for social networking websites like Facebook. Now SAP, the ERP giant, has also entered the fray. I think it is an interesting idea to showcase the BI (Business Intelligence ) capability of anlaytics developed by SAP for anaylising the data on social networking. I feel like calling it "Personal Intelligence" (PI).
This PI app is dubbed "Friend optimiser" by SAP. While reading an article, it appeared to me that it may be able to help us decide which friends we should dump and which ones we should hang out with. Or at least, where I am spending my time (read money, since time is money) as a facebook user and how does it compare with others.
Intrigued, I decided to review the "Friend Optimiser". If you wish, you may launch it from here. Please be aware that the data used for dashboard is about you and your friends and is collected from facebook automatically. The app will ask for your permission as the first step.
Step 1: Request for permission to access the profile data, including name, picture, list of friends etc.
Step 2 Select the friends you want to analyse. I wanted to be unbiased and used "Auto select 10 friends"
Step 3 Start optimising and wallah the dashboard is ready. Here is the image of what it looked like for me.
