Another method of productizing the technology could be an automatic group generator. I'd pay 5$ to have all my friends merged into mutual groups. I have 500 friends and there's no way I'm going to create groups for all of them. But having them grouped would be nice.

We've always wondered about this. We didn't think people would pay for something like that.

What about a way of creating all your G+ circles based on Facebook friend clusters as well?

Yeah, I don't think many people would pay for something like that.

Katango basically provided that service for free, but they got acquired by Google. http://techcrunch.com/2011/11/10/google-acquires-katango-the...

I don't think people who are using social media for personal use would pay for it, but people who are using it for business might.

Maybe pricing that works out so it is free for general users and has a low price point for "pro" users?
