I was amazed by a new Facebook application called Peersonalizer. This new application was developed by two Technion-Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Computer Science students, Lior Biran and Tomer Einav, as a project under the supervision of WiPeer creators Roy Friedman and Ph.D. students Vadim Drabkin and Gabi Kliot. It allowed a Facebook user to detect any Facebook friend, or friends of those friends, even in the situation where Internet connection is not available. However, this user and her group of friends’ laptop PCs must pre-installed this Peersonalizer.

For this app to work properly, a Facebook user must installed both of the required components of this Peersonalizer, this app and a WiPeer client through WiPeer’s home page, i.e. http://www.wipeer.com. Once you installed both of these components, you’ll able to detect your Facebook friends within a distance of 900ft and making it possible to network, chat, share files and directories, play collaborative games, or actually meet face-to-face.
