The the most obvious solution is that these are people who click on my profile a lot.Īnd that’s where it becomes a privacy issue.Īs one of my friends said: “these two girls keep turning up on my friends list – but they’re not people I interact with on Facebook – so I think they must fancy me.” Just to throw another scenario out there – you can see that your ex has been clicking on your Facebook profile a lot even if neither of you have talked or interacted on there for months. If it’s not public interaction, and it’s not random then it’s got to be something else. I realise you can make lists of friends which show up in that spot, but I haven’t done that. I don’t mind remotely, but it kind of makes me wonder why they are there and why Facebook isn’t clear about the process that selects those 15 out of my 421 friends. Three I haven’t messaged, interacted with or even clicked on for up to six months. Sure once every so often… but there are others I would check much more regularly. And I don’t regularly click on their profiles either. Of those 15 people, 5 or so are people I interact with regularly, the other 10 aren’t. Okay you say – so that’s just people you interact with the most, Facebook is just giving you links to people you are most interested in, same as it does with the news feed where it pushes people that you click on and interact with most.īut, no – it isn’t. Out of my 421 friends, the same 15 come up again and again – in fact after refreshing my profile five times I don’t get any new faces and after refreshing it ten times it just keeps showing me the same 15 rearranged slightly. It now displays 10 friends not six, and you only need to refresh your profile three or four times to see that the same group of people comes up again and again. Thing is – with the new profiles that list of friends is no longer so random. It would pop up with people that I was friends with but never clicked on and had completely forgotten about – it was random – sure and I never particularly noticed a pattern in who turned up there. I’d occasionally hover over one and wonder who the hell it was? Then I’d remember it was Jay from some random holiday 2 years ago. Previously that small square box was filled with six random friends, and I remember they were random. There has been a “friends” box on Facebook profiles for a long time – down on the left hand side of the page under your profile picture and basic information. Okay, I’m basing this on personal observation, but bear with me. Facebook revamped profiles earlier this week, and launched a bunch of new features, but one of the most surprising things hasn’t even been announced – a feature that lets you know who has been clicking on your profile.
