Freco.com: Friendship-Based Recommendation Site

Freco.com is a site that provides search results for various things based on recommendations from other users. On this site you can type certain keywords to get recommendations from other users. You can also add recommendations for certain things, it can be other items or topics that are not yet on Freco.com.

If you think your recommendation is good, on the right side of the site there is also a list of recommendations that other users need that you can fulfill.

This site has tagline friends recommendation, which means the recommendations on their site are based on friends. But after trying several times to do a search, the recommendations I get are not really from my friends, even though I use the facilities login with Facebook. This could be because none of my friends have used Freco's service yet, while trying, the search results that appear are only from other users or (mostly) from artists. However the explanation from the website says that when we login using social networks, search results from friends and celebrities will be prioritized in search results.

Freco does provide recommendations from various celebrities or famous people, as written by Viva news, Freco interviews celebrities or famous people to add recommendations for things on their site. Although for me this is less relevant, because I trust friends from artists more, but for users in Indonesia, this could be what they are looking for.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Freco is the amount of investment disbursed 3 founder from this service, still as written Viva news, R. Ari Sudradjat, Herjuno Wahyu Aji, and Anton Nasser (PT Makmur Sukses Untung) have invested $40.000 for this site. Freco's appearance is very simple, in fact it seems to me that it is only half done, the features that are there are also quite minimal, in addition to the main facilities there are also facilities share to Facebook and Twitter. Although recommendations for unique or specific items are sometimes not available, on the other hand, I must admit the search results are quite fast.

One of the services that also plays in this segment is blanjaa.com (unfortunately the site is not active, even though it is past release time). Recommendations have indeed become quite important 'toys' in the midst of growing information, which is now not only offline but also online, purchasing decisions are also heavily influenced by recommendations from colleagues, family and friends and public figure. However, I think that the service currently available at Freco can be one of the additional features of a larger service, or while growing the number of users, Freco can add various other features such as photo uploading facilities, more personalized user accounts and improvements to the appearance of the service. more and more interesting.
