    My number 1 is a girl I don't know very well, rarely interact with and have never chatted to on facebook. #2 best friend who is my main reason for facebooking, we chat every day without fail and are all over each other's walls, #3 brother, #4, 5, 6: my children, #7 my partner who never uses facebook but hasn't gotten around to deleting his account.

    It's a bit all over the place. Is it perhaps to do with very recent interactions?

    My first one is a friend of mine who I haven't spoken to on chat for at least a year or two, definitely not the people I chat to the most.

    I couldn't have done mine right because the people who came up I'd never since in my life before and both were from America?:pac:
    Actually found the right numbers and it was just friends :)

    Could it be based on who is currently online?

    Wouldn't work for me. 3 of them are offline (not even mobile) and one of them is not in my top friends. Dunno what it is to be honest.

    I copied all the numbers into a spread sheet and all the numbers pasted 64 times, funnily there was only 222 (about half friends list).... The Misses was Number 1 so happy enough with that.....cant ever remember been on chat with her so that's out the window.

    I would wager that the algorithm that picks out that list is no simple thing. It is likely a combination of all interactions across Facebook.

    People you have been tagged in the same picture as is definitely one of the variables that effects it. There are people in my list that I have never interacted with through Facebook other than accepting the friendship request and being tagged in other peoples pictures with them.

    Chatting with people, pm'ing people, liking statuses and commenting on statuses seem to be variables that effect it too. There are probably others.

    I can't imagine who views your profile is factored into it at all because that has no bearing on deciding who you might like to chat with most. It wouldn't make any sense to make that a factor.

    Mine seems to be based on facebook interactions - all people I PM regularly, write on walls etc. One person in my top 10 who really doesn't belong there though - never chat to them or interact with them at all really. Very strange.

    My top 10 are all closest friends I chat with every week and all in the correct order of most to least. Pleased with no.11 though, always thought there was a little something there and we virtually never chat! :D

    My top 4 are all people I never interact with on FB (we're "work friends"). Number 5 is the person I would interact with the most. :confused:

    First person is a girl I never chat with! So, if anything... it is a stalker thing! YESSS!

    If you are a single man, and the you like this chick, will you, for the sake of some good old fashioned boards entertainment, contact this girl and see where it leads.

    If you would update us Feeky McGee style, and it works out, it would be a great Christmas thread for us all.

    Happy hunting

    private messages and FB chat is the same mechanic and the people you interact with the most are the ones listed in this way. an easier way than looking through the source code of the page is to look at the "friends" gadget n your profile page. the people listed there are the ones youre talking about.

    It is definitely not who checks your page most and it is also definitely not who you interact with most.

    I don't know what it is but I can confirm the above by who my top people were. A chap I went to school with who I sent one message to when I added him, he replied, I never bothered getting back to him. The other person is my cousin who I have never contacted on Facebook. Just added him as a friend. I've never seen him posting anything.

    Neither of these people are stalking me and we've only had limited or no interactions.

    It's something to do with the chat list I read elsewhere.

    First and second were who I expected (although the opposite way around), third I didnt expect to be so high as I havent talked to them in a few weeks. Fourth was who I expected in third, fifth was the same as third, while sixth I expected higher.

    So out of six, four of them were (about) right and the others wouldnt have been far off.

    Dont think it is based on chat though as I talk to 2 more than 1, 4 more than 3 and 6 more than 5 and 3.

    I have my chat window disabled and the code doesn't work for me.

    I think its a code put in for when you decide to delete your profile, facebook asks you "are you sure you want to quit, these people will miss you" so its the people you interact with most.

    A girl was in my house asking me about this and she said " are you checking out my profile? you're fourth on my list of stalkers" i went bright red, i never checked her out, but i messaged her a few times , was tagged in a couple of photos and was checked into a few places with her.

    It can't be chat or comments/photos exclusively. My number 5 died 18 months ago. Its a page I check regularly as people comment on it a lot.
