Welcome to FriendHook, Silicon Valley’s hottest new startup. FriendHook is a Social Networking App for college undergrads. In order to join, an undergrad must scan their college id to prove their affiliation. After approval, undergrads can create a FriendHook profile, which lists their Dorm name and scholastic interests. Once a profile is created, an undergrad can send "friend requests" to other students at their college. A student who receives the friend request can either approve or reject that request. Once a friend request is approved, then the pair of students are officially "FriendHook friends". Using their new digital connection, FriendHook friends can share photographs, collaborate on course-work, and keep each other up to date on the latest campus gossip. The FriendHook app is a hit. It’s utilized in hundreds of college campuses worldwide. The user-base is growing and so is the company. You are FriendHook’s first data science hire! Your first challenging task will be to work on FriendHook’s friend recommendation algorithm.
