You ever meet someone at the bar and take down their name and number, only to find out the next day that, in your sloppiness, you typed in the wrong digits? Then you go onto Facebook in an attempt to find this mythical person, and can’t find them. Well, Socialinkd solves all of those problems. Read on.
This app, now available for free on iPhone and Android, generates and scans QR codes for Facebook. To put it simply: you’re chatting up this hottie at the bar, and you wanna skip the whole “find me on Facebook” thing and just jump to being friends. If you both have Socialinkd, one person clicks on “Display Code,” and the other clicks on “Scan Code.” The friend request is automatic. Check out the informative video below and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

But wait, there’s more to it than just that: after the request is approved, Socialinkd will show you a list of mutual friends and common likes – instant talking points that help reduce awkward moments exponentially. While right now the app is only for Facebook, the developers are already planning to add other social networks, so that you can connect with someone across a multitude of platforms.
After that, all you need to do is lay down your best Facebook game, and you’re in. Socialinkd is gonna be the tits for us college students, who have a tendency to get sloppy and forget the people they meet downtown, so go download it now.
