Why Frrvrr? top
Ever find a news story or blog or photo on the Internet, but forgot to bookmark it? Frrvrr not only finds those for you, it steers you toward similar topics you might be interested based on your browsing history and connects you with other people who share the same interests. Which brings us to our next question:
How does Frrvrr work? top
When you sign up, Frrvrr's AvaTroll Accelerator™ will download itself onto your desktop and begin cataloguing your web history, or "webtory," from the past eight months. Once it gathers all of your information, it creates a personalized avatar of you based on the snapshot of you gleaned from web usage and sites visited.
How do others join in the conversation? top
Once you've completed the registration process, your Frrvrr avatar will send itself to everyone in your address book, showing off your new look and inviting them to join. And every week, your personal avatar will update its appearance based on your past week's web habits and resend itself to your contacts to keep them updated on what you're up to.
How do I add my own pictures, music, etc. to my Frrvrr profile? top
Frrvrr makes uploading your own content easier than ever. Frrvrr's Flashlight™ application automatically scans your computer and public records for photos, music, and documents, and then uploads them directly to your Frrvrr Profile page. No need to search for long-lost pictures, songs, or webmail. Frrvrr finds it all!
How do I find people who share my interests? top
Once again, Frrvrr does the work for you. Based on your webtory, Frrvrr will automatically seek out other registered users that have visited the same websites as you, downloaded similar files, or purchased comparable products online, and link to each others' avatars automatically.
How is Frrvrr different from other social networking sites? top
Other sites only connect you with people you already know, which merely replicates your offline social network. Frrvrr helps you make new connections by linking you to people all over the world. And since Frrvrr shares your information with fellow members, there's no need to introduce yourself to your new friends. It's like they've known you for years!
How does Frrvrr protect our privacy? top
The Frrvrr team knows firsthand the weaknesses in privacy protection in web browsers, email clients, ecommerce platforms, and medical databases. Through diligent work and cutting-edge technology, we can ensure our users that we will only utilize these weaknesses to bring our users the most personalized web experience possible. Protecting our users' information and delivering the richest, most-personalized web experience possible is a delicate balancing act that Frrvrr takes very seriously. We care deeply about our users' privacy and will continue to do so.
