Facebook 6 Friends box? - 12345 - 08-31-2013 08:06 PM
How does Facebook choose those 6 people that show on your profile page friends list on the bottom left? Since I just got facebook, I've only chatted with like 3 people, and those three people are all in that box. But what about the other three people in the box? Were they randomly chosen or does it have to do with something else? My sister said its that they've visited your profile the most, is that true?
one of the people in the box is this boy, but I've never chatted with him, liked his status or even visited his page. How did he got in the box?

It's the first six people from your inbox, it takes your most recently contacted people and organizes them in that box

your sister is wrong - it has nothing to do with who is looking at your profile
it's based first on family members, then on who you chat the most, then on common activity like your mutual likes and comments, then on things like common interests, common groups, lots of other things
think of it like facebook is trying to predict who you will want to interact with in the future
also keep in mind that when other people look at your profile, they dont see the same people, because they can have different things in common with your friends
