Why does FaceBook's "People You May Know" keep recommending strangers? - Kim - 11-09-2012 10:49 AM
And I'm not talking about folks I have only one or two mutual friends with - I'm talking, like, never seen or heard of these people before in my entire life. Every time I look at my suggested FaceBook friends, I see these long lines of Indian, Tunisian, and Arab women, sometimes with a few dudes tossed in. I have only a few Indian friends, but none in common with any of these people. To give you an idea of how odd this is getting to be, I had this one extremely pretty Arab girl showing up as a suggested friend for a few weeks, even though she had only about 50 friends, none of whom I or anyone else I knew had added.

they base those people on more than just mutual friends.... things like schools or cities in common... or things that you both like... it's not just mutual friends
