VYP, the UNYK Facebook app!

very-unyk-person-logo.jpgIntroducing UNYK’s very own Facebook application: very unYk person, or VYP for short. The idea behind VYP is to bring the information-sharing fonctionnality of UNYK‘s smart address book to the networks of people assembled on Facebook.

Here is how it works:

  • Users who install the app choose a select number of friends who become their VYP’s.
  • The VYP’s are featured in a box on the user’s profile, and invitations are sent out to them to request their contact information (address, phone number, etc.).
  • From his profile, the user can access all the personal contact information for any VYP that has accepted his invitation. Of course, he would only have access to information that his VYP wants to share with him.

With VYP, Facebook users can share more contact information, which they would not normally have up on their facebook profiles, with only the people they want to. This access to contact information is privileged: No one else but users of VYP who have exchanged information can have access to that personal information.

So go ahead and try it out… and let us know how you like it!
