Facebook Gifting App EGifter Starts Using Algorithm To Go Beyond Birthdays

Several Facebook gifting applications have relied upon birthdays to get users to interact. But eGifter, an app from GroupGifting.com, wants to change that. The team recently introduced to its app an algorithm to recommend good times to give gifts other than birthdays. For instance, if a friend posts that they're celebrating a milestone such as a baby, engagement, or new job, eGifter will learn this and recommend a gift.
