Facebook Now Suggests “People You May Know”

Facebook has introduced a cool new feature, which suggests "people you may know" based on your existing friends (mutual friends).

people_you_may_know

You can find this new feature under Facebook’s Friend Finder section. I knew 17 out 27 people listed by Facebook as possible friends. I consider that’s to be reasonable accurate! LinkedIn has a similar feature too, but in my personal opinion, it’s not as accurate as Facebook’s feature. I don’t have of a lot connections on LinkedIn, maybe that’s why it turned out be less accurate than Facebook. Chime in and post your comparison through comments.

  • i mean showing your profile to people you don’t know or did not request for it. how about privacy issues?
  • Facebook is regularly coming with new features to attract new users and keep existing user entact. No doubt, in near future it will defeat myspace and become no. 1 social networking website.
  • I've known about 80% of the ones listed on my 'People you know"

    They coded it well (prolly mutual friends of friends + maybe location)
  • I thought facebook was there to make it easier for you to keep in touch with your friends. No i get friend requests from random people and i can't accept them because my profile contains personal info i only disclose to my real life friends and family.
  • @Prosperity Writer, similar-ish websites have had this feature for a long time now (although usually simply called "Friends of friends", not suggesting you may also know those FoFs), and those websites usually offer the option to not let yourself show up on those lists.
    Facebook will probably do the same.
