Facebook Suggests New Friends

by Teresa Valdez Klein on March 27, 2008

Facebook has launched a new feature that shows users who they might be friends with based on their existing connections. Based on my connections, Facebook has recommended 26 new friends. Of those, I actually know four and could appropriately consider being “Facebook friends” with another three.

I’m curious, how accurate has your friend offering been thus far?

I only had it on my FB page for one day, and the three highlighted were a big no for me.

Chad Hurley? Um, okay, talked to him before - but not even an FB friend, ya know?

It’s been pretty accurate in the wrong way… All of my suggestions have been people I’ve been aware of on facebook but I’ve deliberately not friended them. I’m wondering what will happen when one of those people finds me on the same friend suggest and sends me a request?

[...] I have no idea who this Derek character is, so it came as a surprise to me that Facebook would want me to friend him. I assume this is part of Facebook’s new friend recommendation feature. [...]
