There's a brand new app called Katango that will automatically put your Facebook friends into circles. It is intended to help FB compete with Google Plus. Basically, it is an algorithm that examines a user's Facebook friends and sorts them on the basis of geography, location, school, and friends of friends, automatically creating subgroups for sharing information. Sounds like a good idea that still has a few kinks to work out (results are "not completely accurate").
The Associated Press reports, "Facebook already lets users sort friends into separate groups. And Google Plus, the online search leader's most ambitious social-networking venture yet, was built on the idea that people want to share different things with different people online. One of its main features is "circles," which lets users sort friends, family and acquaintances into separate groups and share things only with them."
