Facebook keeps suggesting that I add people that not only have I never seen them. They live on a different continent. We have no common friends. It's a few persons that get suggested all the time without any explanation on why. It's as if I went on holiday to another country bumping into strangers on the street, flashing images of random persons before them asking if they know them! Are there any thoughts here on how the whole "People You May Know" feature is implemented? I was under the impression that it used an algorithm based on common friends and maybe schools, universities etc. This makes absolutely no sense
it might be reaching out beyond your primary connections. only 7 people away from knowing everyone or however it goes...
I've always wondered this too, but in my case it's often people I DO know, which is actually kinda creepy. How does it know?
From what some friends say who use Facebook it sometimes pulls some of your friends friends and suggests them to you.
Hey DAZ do you use that?? Why cant you create a page for your loader,it will give you tons of likes!!!
That's exactly how it works. It states that on your facebook page. Friends of friends of friends and so on and on and on.You can actually follow the links to friends and see where the suggestions come from.
