What does the list of friends on the left hand side of your facebook profile mean?

[Kris]

The place were it shows my friends on my facebook profile display the same friends untill about an hour later when a new friends name comes up on the list. does this mean that the list of people means its who viewd my profile last or is it random because it is always the same people even if i refresh the page.

According to Facebook:

“By default, a changing selection of all your Facebook friends always appears under the Friends heading in the left column of your profile. This selection might include friends who you interact with the most in Wall posts, comments and mutually attended events. However, Facebook does not select friends to show based on whose profiles you choose to view or who you interact with over messages and chat.”
