To save people the clicks it takes to get there, this is what the app has access to:
* Your basic info
* Your location
* Your status updates
* Friends' profile info: hometowns, locations and relationship details
* Status updates shared with you
Seeing how this is a 300-word blog post from AdvertisingAge that reads like a 300-word summary of a Friday press release, I'm guessing is that there's no real science or ingenuity behind this, other than perusing your timeline history and looking for:
a) the last few friends you were tagged with at an event
b) the last few friends you were tagged with in a photo
c) in the absence of a) and b), text-mining your friends' status updates to see if any of them said "I'm sick/have the flu"
* Your basic info
* Your location
* Your status updates
* Friends' profile info: hometowns, locations and relationship details
* Status updates shared with you
