Facto.Me Is an Addictive App for Sharing Facts About Yourself

From the maker of designer/developer community Forrst comes Facto.me, a highly self-referential app that’s at least mildly addictive, entertaining and social.

The premise is simple: We all have stories to share about ourselves, but sometimes, they don’t quite come out the way we’d like them to in conversation. We tend to disclose information about ourselves in passing and as it’s relevant to the conversation. Often, this means we leave out the most interesting bits about ourselves and our lives, simply because no one ever asks us those questions.

Like Formspring, a similarly addictive anonyous Q&A app, Facto.me draws our focus inward. We’re asked not to respond to questions from strangers but rather to share fascinating non sequiturs about ourselves, things few or no other people might know.

For example, Kyle Bragger, the guy who made Facto.me, secretly enjoys country music (secret’s out, buddy). And I turn to the crochet hook when I need to unwind.
