The project 'FAVVES' presents a social networking concept centered on favorites and gifting. However, the submission contains critical red flags. Despite a claimed 2020 launch and a team of 10, search diagnostics reveal no indexed pages, user reviews, or digital footprint for 'favves.com'. The traction claim 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and hyperbolic. The technical details are vague ('writing-and-editing'), and the revenue data is nonsensical. This appears to be an early-stage concept or a non-operational project with no verifiable real-world utility or adoption.

Description
I would like to introduce social networking site FAVVES. This site is all about favorites......products, places, professional services......anything! You can \"like\" many things.....but what are your \"go to\" products and places? What are your friends and influencers favorites? \n\nRecently at a holiday party I was hosting, a friend brought my favorite bottle of wine to the party. They saw the wine, Rombauer, on my FAVVES list and decided it would be a great gift since it is listed as one of my favorites. A user also wrote to us to let us know they received their favorite perfume and flowers on their birthday. \n\nPeople are too busy to pick up the phone to find a recommendation; now they are able to go to one site and see what the favorites are of their friends, family, influencers, and celebrities. Many think FAVVES is like Pinterest, which is not true - we are all about your favorites! \n
