    I always thought it was randomized in some way. At the bottom of the Introducing Timeline page where it tells you that X amount of your friends have timeline and then has eight friends, they always happen to be the same set of friends.

    I'm not really sure, but 4/8 of the friends on mine i know, but don't really interact with that much on Facebook. Maybe its a mix of people you interact with a lot and people who view your profile a lot?
