general
why should I use friendput?
how often do you ask friends or family for advice when picking a doctor? how about when buying a gadget? chances are, you ask these people you trust for their input all the time. maybe you email them, maybe you call them, or maybe you do both several times over to get all the input you can. and when you're done, you've got a scribbled note here, a mental note there -- and then you make a semi-informed decision.
enter friendput. we've built this site to help you access the most valuable information sources available to you - people you trust - when making any sort of decision.
why is using friendput better than using a search engine like google, yahoo, or msn?
using friendput, you get personalized recommendations from people you trust, which for people looking to make an informed product or service decision can be more valuable then a list of webpages. so don't search...ask your friends!
requests
what happens when I make a request?
when you submit your request, an email goes out to the friends you listed asking for their input on whatever it is you asked them about. it'll take them no time at all to read your email, give you feedback, and get on with their inbox (so don't feel like you're bothering them :). at any time, you can check the status of your request (who's replied, what they said, etc.) by clicking on the link in the email we send you when you complete a request.
