Going to try and conduct an experiment.

Will be retesting this every day to see if there are any changes to the list. I will also have a friend just constantly go and view my page and try to get him to skyrocket up.

Should test whether this is random or not.

I'm running this test, too.

For me it's definitely who I talk to most, and I know they don't 'stalk' me because it would be inherently dumb for them to, not to mention that they hardly use facebook anyway other than for talking to people.

Gamertag - Rdog 11

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

I noticed something else... I always appear offline on Facebook because I don't chat with anybody, and if someone saw me online, they would probably think "Oh, that guy is still on my friends list?" and remove me instantly. So instead of showing who's available to chat at the right below the recent activity, it shows what appears to be a random group of friends, because it's different almost every time. It turns out that after comparing this random list with the list obtained from the method in this thread, they are exactly the same but in a different order.

Just thought I'd point that out. Further evidence that it's completely random. Try doing this again later and see if you get different results.

I just thought the same thing. Have #4 check my page daily and see if her placement moves in accordance with this.

Well it's clearly not just random. It's "ordered" friends, and for most people it seems to be fairly accurate at first. Like my top 5 being all close friends/family. But it seems far fetched for it to be who views it the most. A kid i became friends with two days ago was something like 50 on the list, and i doubt he's clicked my page more times in 2 days than the other 230 people have in months/years. But at the same time, if it's in order of most recent, then some 50 people have creeped on my since he added me on Friday. . .

Testing for most recent came back as negative.

Oh, you think darkness is your ally. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

No one man should have all that power ...

Unreal, isn't it?

I'm certain it isn't random, the list I had would be too unlikely for that to be the case. However, I'm inclined to think that it's based on interaction through facebook than views. Facebook wouldn't make who views who's pages public, there'd be a pretty bad backlash from that.

Most recent to view yours, or most recent you viewed?

It's not the most recent you viewed, i tested that.

The "orderedfriends" thing is a line below "......e="online">Turn On Chat</option><option value="offline">Turn Off Chat</option></select></div></d......&qu ot;

Someone do a test and see if it gives you different results if you appear offline in the chat thing

It's not the most recent you viewed, i tested that.

Most recent to view yours. Go back a page or two and you'll see someone mentioning tests.

Here's an idea: Someone take the top person on their list and send them a message saying "Why do you look at my profile so much?"

lol

  • 12.02.2012 6:38 PM PDT

My top 5 are close friends and girls I have crushes on.

Although I doubt this works. Those 5 seem like the top 5 pages I view on Facebook.

Hold on, if I were to do this on another user's page...would it show me the pages they view the most?!

i Originally thought that as well... But there are a few people that i have viewed their pages alot lately and they were not on the list

  • 12.02.2012 6:40 PM PDT

HOLD IT..


I just asked one of my bros who was #4 on the list and he says he doesn't view my profile that much. This is strange.

Nah, i'm positive my #2 would be #1 if it was who's page we viewed the most.

Wait, any chance it could be related to mutual friend number or number of friends?

  • 12.02.2012 6:43 PM PDT

No, that's just the list of people, in order of priority of which people's posts show up on the feed or which people to show on the chat list.

If anything, it's actually the opposite of what you think, it's in the order of people you stalk (and/or chat with) the most.

Just tried it - same results. It has something to do with the chat list. I have chat turned off, and the top 8 are the exact same as the first 8 shown in the list to the right, only in a different order.
