on Facebook im really getting paranoid by this "people you may know"?

[Ben]

do you think there's a possibility that this is also "stalker based" those people who stalk at your profile?
hey abraxus any link to confirm that?
please dont tell me it is based on to whom i have mutual friends with because there are peoeple who are showing that doesnt have any relation with me no mutual firends

[abraXus]

no, facebook has made it clear it doesnt work like that

it's based on more than just mutual friends, it's also based on mutual interests, mutual activity, mutual groups, mutual games, where you live, what school you go to, what cities you have visited in your location list... etc...

the list goes on an on... you will never be able to narrow it down to one thing

why are you getting paranoid about it? are you doing something wrong? are you violating their terms and conditions by creating more than one account?

[Darrell]

No. The "people you may know list" is ones that have the most mutual friends, go to the same school, or have something else similar with you.
It is not determined by stalkers

Nothing to worry about.

The list "people you may know" contains people who are friends of your friends so Facebook thinks maybe you know them so they put these people in your list.

[Ben]

Haha i used to think the same thing but the answer your looking for is that its mainly judged by how many mutual friends you have with them. And some can be by the area you live in or even if they have a friend with the same name as yours.

nah, i was weirded out by seeing people i have no mutual friends with too, but i realized that not only do they show people with mutual friends, they show people that you have similar likes or info with. ie, say you worked at mcdonalds or walmart, and had that in your info, they may show others that have worked at mcdonalds or walmart, or if you went to a certain college they may show others that went to that college.
