the trick will be curating or culling the feed, we all have a lot of FB friends
dodo53 and useflyer's comments do a good job at explaining how WhereBerry is different from a calendar.
WhereBerry is helpful for capturing ideas that aren't fully formed events yet – simply things you'd like to do. In fact, a lot of our items don't have a set date (movies, hikes, restaurants...). Once you know who's interested, it's easier to pick a date and organize it.
Re:curation, for now you can unfollow people who post activities you're not interested in. As we get better data, we plan to add relevance ranking so manual trimming becomes less necessary.
I might have 300+ friends on Facebook, but really, I like to spend time with maybe 10% of them on a weekly basis doing these type of activities.
You're correct and I get your point. My first statement didn't get out as intended. I think that with those services in its current form it's not so much about where it is now, but where it can get. Ofcourse you don't go out with the 300 friends you have on facebook. But those services aren't focused on such big networks; they are focused on the 25 people you do and can go out with and it is about sharing valuable information and having fun with those. Facebook is great for the 275 other ,,friends''. The network is smaller, but it's really more social.
