Is there any significance to what friends r displayed on ur profile pg

6 Comments

I heard some time ago that the friend show up on your/the Facebook profile page when you open it are the ones most recently or frequently contacted. I also heard that they are the ones that stalked by the person, or who is most frequently stalking them. I already know there's a way to "set" those people to have the same ones show up every time, but this is in regards to when it changes. Same thing when you open your/another person's friends list - the first ones listed are the ones who most recently or frequently interacted with. Is this true, or is it random?

Yes, they are the friends most recently interacted with 2
Yes, they are the friends that are the most frequently contacted 3
Yes, they are the friends who are stalking the most 0
Yes, they are the friends most often stalked 0
Some combination of the above (please comment) 1
No, it's totally random 8
Other (please comment) 2

    On mine it's either people I interact with the most or lurk the most. Yeah, I've always noticed this too.

    Its people who have a sexual interest in you, for sure...

    When I had a girlfriend, she was usually in my profile picture. Now, it's usually just me alone.

    I just looked at my FB profile and all nine of them are ones I interact with the most.

    Once upon a time they found opening the HTML/CSS source you could look at the friends listed in order. I believe this was found out to not have any significance or was set to a random display order. Either way they try to prevent tracking.

    Pretty sure it's random.
