Products that do what Active circles, invite friends' friends to your event does

Are you looking for a great get together? Well, you can post it on facebook and twitter. Majority of them are strangers and you don’t want them anywhere near your event.

Did you know your friends’ friends are people you met with but never had a chance to get to know them better? But you don’t have them in your contacts, what do you do?
