Facebook App Helps Set You Up With a Roommate

Avoid an awkward, or downright hellish, living situation by finding your roomie on Facebook.

Overview

If you wouldn't trust Gumtree, Domain or Craigslist to find you a new roommate, you're not alone. You're probably pretty smart, as well. To help you avoid the slob, the creep, or the no-concept-of-personal-space roommate, Friends With Rooms has created a Facebook roomie-finding app.

The app utilises Facebook's social graph to match you up with other people whose profiles contain similar information and interests. Users answer a series of general questions designed to get a more in-depth concept of what type of roommate he or she might be (Do you prefer to stay out late or to rise early?). If you do happen to find a 'match', you can even have a mutual friend vouch for the other person.

So rest assured that, thanks to this app, not every roommate has to be like your infamous first-year uni roommate.
