theres an app you can put on your profile which tells you whos been on your profile- so yes, people can find out

which one?

[oh wow]

(Original post by BrightGirl)
what application is this?

LOL I have that app. It doesn't actually tell the person. It just means that when you go on someone's profile you come up in the box, only on your computer they don't actually know.

I think that those '6' (can be changed to more) friends that appear linked to your profile aren't actually 100% random but have some sort of correlation to who last viewed your profile or something? Some people definitely appear on mine more often than others. hmm

How sure about this are you/do you have any evidence?

[zakiman]

That error thing was just an annoying app to try and trick people into adding it surely?
There were no real errors, just one annoying bebo-like app!

I think he could be right because I have noticed that my stalker ex is always 1 of the 6! (Unless that is just a really freaky coincidence..)

dunno, but I went o someone's profile and they had it

[DrunkHoboGuy]

If you refresh the page, generally 1/2 of the original 6 remain on the refreshed page.

I doubt there is a 100% correlation, but if one person is an obscurely persistant stalker, I think people will notice.

wait a sec

if you click on deactivate your account, it says 5 people who will miss you and if you keep refreshing that page, the same ones come up really regularly.

i'm guessing those are the people that view your page most?

All this speculation about the randomness of the six displayed Facebook friends - I'll have none of it! Also, I have nothing better to do. So I refreshed my page six times (I got bored after six, although I would have liked more evidence) noting down each time which of my friends were shown. Indeed, it does not appear to be random. But what fool trusts mere appearances; they can be deceiving! One person appeared five times. To statistics (yes, this is a little bit dodgy, but anyhow)!

is that friends appear at random

Test statistic is that out of six times, one friend appeared five times.





Which is more than enough evidence to allow us to reject ; it isn't random. But I don't think these people are my stalkers.
