"to help better connect people", that is Facebook
"Designed to think about people the way you naturally do, Humin remembers and stores relationships by context--such as when, where or how you met someone--so users can search for them accordingly. Instead of storing contacts in an alphabetical list, Humin uses contextual clues like current location, time of day, and schedule to anticipate the relevant people within users' contacts at any given moment.", that is a behavioural recommender algorithm but ...  cannot outperform STRICT personality based recommender systems.
