Re: [Skunkworks] Facebook Friend Suggestion Algorithm
Facebook tracks every page you go to after navigating away from it. It's the cookies that do this. Thats why facebook is able to suggest friends like that. Maybe you sent her an email, maybe visited her fb page or other social network?

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. _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke ------------ List info, subscribe/unsubscribe http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------
