I was very unimpressed with Facebook’s friends lists. They’re just something I don’t see myself using. That’s why I was happy to find Kick It, an application that basically organizes your contacts for you based on the information in their profiles.
It allows you to do some very interesting research about your friends that I think can really come in handy. When I first used the application, I found out that 24 of my friends like Pink Floyd, 18 like Pulp Fiction, and a stat for virtually everything on my profile. I was also able to see exactly who those people were.
This is a social organization tool that I could really see using. If I want to find a friend that likes something, or has a particular affiliation, or went to my old high school, I would much rather peruse an application that did the leg work for me than form lists myself.
Now I know where to know next time I need to get rid of a concert ticket!

A similar application is Rolodexterous (http://apps.facebook.com/rolodexterous/). It allows now only to sort/search you friends based on their profile data, but also add missing data and data not included in the profile.

Wow, I love this app!!! Thanks heaps for the heads up, Jonathan.
Finally, a useful app for increasing quality connections. I'm experimenting with various searches now… but am not yet fully convinced the numbers are accurate. With 865 friends, the stats seem low for me, especially when I search for two or more terms.

This app is awesome! It really can give you an idea of common interests that you have with your friends that you didn't know about. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
