Friendthem: Facebook Friend Requests On A Plane

Social networking connectivity tool Friendthem will extend its reach into the skies in April, when it will add an “airplane mode” button to its iOS and Android applications, allowing Friendthem users on the same flights to easily exchange connection requests for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Connection requests can only be exchanged between Friendthem users, so travelers need not worry about receiving random friend requests while on board their aircraft. The new feature is likely geared toward enabling passengers who strike up in-flight conversations to exchange invitations, rather than attempting to befriend the attractive passenger two rows away, but, hey, anything’s possible.
