Facebook Friend Suggestion Algorithm
Hey guys, I'm beginning to think these guys at facebook use more than 'normal' means to create friend suggestion list. Two weeks after I spent quality time with a 'friend', her name pops up on my friend suggestion list. There is no logical way we are fb-related. We have no mutual friends, different neighbourhoods, didnt go to same school, hell, we are even from different tribes. And she uses Nokia, I use idiot. How did FB connect the dots? Unless they monitor my phone numbers :( I wish this was a fake story but it so isnt.

define 'quality time' and 'friend' :)

She checked you out on fb, to see if your 'story' checked out.... I've always found that after posting interesting stuff, like rally pics etc after the event, my friend suggestions are for people who check them out, so I guess the algo then figures out we've got the same interests, attended the same event etc..
