What is Friendfilter?
Friendfilter is a Facebook analytics tool that helps you understand and manage your friend network. It analyses your Facebook friends list to reveal patterns about who you interact with most, who you've lost touch with, and engagement levels across your network. The tool is designed for people who want to keep their Facebook experience intentional, whether that means reconnecting with dormant friendships, identifying your most active connections, or pruning your friends list thoughtfully. It works by connecting to your Facebook account and processing your friend data to generate insights and recommendations.
