BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Springpad, the rapidly growing smart notebook app that helps you remember anything you come across when you need it most, today announced the release of its new Friends’ Stuff social notebook. Rolling out over the next month, the social notebook is a unique way to discover and act on all the movies, television shows, books, music and places your friends recommend without worrying about saving it for later when they first mentioned it.
The real-time web has moved beyond conversation to become a valuable source of useful information from the people you trust, but the problem is that it's not readily available when you want or need it. The check-in to a restaurant in Hawaii is great for conversation when it happens, but it’s long past the first page of your stream when planning your trip to Hawaii six months later. The Friends’ Stuff social notebook makes it easy to see your friends’ likes and check-ins when you’re ready for their recommendations.

“Social services are a great way to promote conversation and surface trending newsworthy ideas, however there’s a wealth of information that’s more useful when you’re actively looking for it and not when it first surfaced in the real-time stream,” says Jeff Janer, CEO of Springpad. “At Springpad we’re extracting the ‘real-time’ from the social web and leveraging our semantic data technology to provide long term benefit for when you’re actively seeking information instead of trying to remember when and where you first heard about it.”
Friends Stuff utilizes Springpad's semantic data technology that has helped 2 million users to save more than 15 million movies, books, albums, products, places and recipes. Starting with the Facebook integration, your friends’ “Likes and Check-ins” will all be instantly aggregated, organized and enhanced to help you bridge the gap from discovery to action with recommendations from the people you trust.
The Friends’ Stuff social notebook benefits include:
- Long lasting value from friends’ saved and catalogued experiences
- Enhanced information relevant to your friends’ recommendations including show times, price comparisons and links to purchase, reviews, menus and more
- View “Likes and Check-ins” by friend and information type – places, restaurants, movies, television shows, music, books, wine and products
- Search nearby from your mobile device for friends’ likes and check-ins
- Accessible on your phone, tablet or any computer
Springpad is available for iPhones, iPads, Android devices and the Web. To download and learn more about Springpad, visit http://springpadit.com.
