Application of the month: Hotlist.

It’s the weekend at Cabrini College and it seems that there is nothing to do. Check out the new application, The Hotlist.

Hotlist tells you where all of your friends (even enemies) are going out for the night.

Essentially Hotlist generates a list of the friends and followers that a user on Facebook has. Then when Willy-P says he is going to Kildare’s for the night, Hotlist tags Willy out. Other users of the application can also “check-in” at a said hotspot.The idea behind Hotlist is to show social media users where their friends are on Hotlist. It then complies a list of where is “hot” to go for the night. Those are the places were a lot of the user’s friends have “check-in.”

For a few years Hotlist was just a social media site that you could access from your home computer. Now that Hotlist is an application Hotlist has practically doubled its user rating. The Hotlist has anywhere between 130,000-140,000 users.

The Hotlist also pulls information from the Google search engine. So if a users friends are being tagged at a place in any way shape or form Hotlist will find them.

The weekend isn’t looking so boring after all, is it? Now with the “college kid’s dream application,” there is always something “hot” to do.
