Facebook People You May Know Lists

I don't "know" anyone. I don't really care if I know anyone. Years ago, when I was on mylot I used to have conversations with someone my friends and I thought was a woman who we found out about 5 years later was a man. He used a woman for his profile picture. It was really quite funny.

sometimes I see some funny ones on FB, yeah I know them, if I wanted them friended, they would already BE friended.

Only time I add people I do not know to my facebook is for games when i need more neighbors. Otherwise I must know them in person or from a writing or blog site.

I think the point is that it's trying to show you people that you might want to add as a friend that you hadn't thought to look up. If you add a few old high school friends that might lead you to a few more old high school friends you wouldn't have found on your own. But I agree it can be annoying and I wish we could shut it off at times.

I do not even have a look at Facebook proposal. I do not know the friends of my friends and I have no intention to share my wall, pages and posts with them.

Take it for what its worth - nothing!

I don't except hardly anyone to my Facebook friends. I have 2 friends that I haven't personally met, they are friends of my father. Just because I know you, even if family it doesn't mean I will except you. I don't want, nor like drama in real life or my online life. I have avoided so much drama by being very picky, and keeping my settings as tight as possible. I have been able to enjoy Facebook for this reason.

The aim of those who are running the Facebook is to increase the number of users on FB. Therefore, they keep tempting us to add unknown people. The more the number of users and traffic, more they will earn. I find that Facebook authorities have some application or tool to read our 'contacts' on our mobile. If anyone has a FB account and he or she is on your contact list in your mobile, it is possible that FB will 'read' our contact list and prompt us to add that person as a friend. I keep receiving prompts on my FB page for adding those people who are on my contact list on my mobile, be it our carpenter, plumber, the car driver (I hired his car one day) or our maid servant. I just ignore these prompts.

i have some frineds on facebook that I don't know, but not all that many, as I know most of them either personally or through family. I don't accept all frineds either, as you never know what kind of person they are. I have had to block some on there because their behaviour wasn't what i wanted to see or know about.

Sometimes, though rarely, I will see in that list a friend that I DO know and that I want to reconnect with again. In that sense it has been useful. But otherwise, I don't know most of the people on the list - eh, I don't want to be connected to all of the world!!

I do not want anyone as a friend that I do not know.

I'm always amazed at how someone I've remotely known in the past often appears on these lists. As you point out, maybe they are friends of a friend of a friend. I've sometimes wondered if they've stumbled upon me by chance and have been peering in on what I'm up to these days.

Yes it is very irritating. Just because they know someone you know why the heck would you want to know about them too!

some people not using facebook to connect with friends but to gather as much people on their profile as they can in order to spread the word faster and use it in marketing as facebook it self use this to make you engaged all the time and let you live inside , by inviting you to friend other beside , when they suggest someone , you never know they might be an old friend to :)

This has always seemed strange to me as well. I often get presented with a list of people who I have never met and would not recognise in the street. Some of them have even sent me a Friend request, no doubt because they have been presented with my name in the same manner. Naturally I always decline such requests. Adding an endless list of friends would not only be pointless, but would simply hide the articles posted by my actual friends in a deluge of irrelevant material. There would be no point in adding your personal friends and family if you then continued and added everyone, because you would end up seeing the same screen as you would without any friends listed.

Do they need any other reason? I check through my friends every once in awhile over there. There is always a list of ones to pick. I rarely do. Some big deals with some people that they want the most in numbers and do not seem to care whether they know them or not.

I just ignore those people listed that Facebook thinks that we know. If ever I can see in my list a personal friend, I may add him/her before seeing to it that he/she is really a friend. Maybe this is the reason why many people added me but I just ignore them unless I know them personally.
