Lagos, Nigeria, October 16, 2012 –(PR.com)– Lovvin is a social recommendation website that lets people share things they love and recommend things they might love.

Lovvin suggests books, websites, celebrities, places etc, to its visitors, and allows registered users add things, places, and people they already love to Lovvin.
Registered LAGbook users can sign up to, and get social recommendations from Lovvin right on LAGbook. The social recommendation website Lovvin is now available on LAGbook as a third party application, and can be found under the “THIRD PARTY” column on the menu of most pages on LAGbook.

We want to expand their social discovery experience by giving them the power to discover new things, music, places, books, websites and on. We want to expand their online social discovery experience in all aspects of their life”.
