Yes, Facebook, thank you so much for your *amazing* suggested friend feature. A grandmother type with a crazy sweatshirt and another with her pants pulled down around her ankles. I'm so impressed with your uncanny ability to find just my type of new friend.

I thought these were suggestions made by other people not the automatic "you know their friends so you must know them" method?
- CAJ, somewhere else
Yes, the "suggested by" gives it away. It's not the "you might also know…" automated recommendation. It says more about your friends than it does about Facebook.
- Mistletoe Glen
That was my understanding too. These are friends your friends suggest. Interesting circles you run in; I can't imagine a real person putting that rear shot as a profile pic on fb.

sometimes I acidently end up accepting these as they feel just like actual friend requests. That bottom new friend might take some explaining to my wife. Facebook ought to consider letting users turn this feature off if they'd like. I know I'd turn it off.
- Thomas Hawk
That's hilarious. I always get recommended people I already know that are new to FB
- Francine Hardaway
The really question is did you friend either?
- RAPatton
haha, no, neither. I was tempted to friend the grandmotherly type since we've got 12 mutual friends but I have no idea in blazes who she is.

I'm more impressed with the 305 messages in your inbox.
- Kevin Pedraja
I'm so terrible with my email/flickrmail/facebook mail. I try and try and just can't keep up with it all.
- Thomas Hawk
Im less likely to subscribe to either .. unless I know them ,,,

I have 587 unread messages in my Facebook inbox. I actually read all them through e-mail, and there's no good way to mark all as read. Facebook sucks for e-mail-like communication (as does Twitter).
- Jesse Stay
At least facebook should not show the same suggested friends again and again once we hit X on it but it does show them repeatedly. Very annoying :(

Facebook is so lame - just sayin.

i currently have 4647 unread messages on facebook :/ lol
- Geoff Jackson
What a contrast.
- Carolyn Chan
4647 is alot Geoff. I hate all forms of email myself actually. It feel burdensome feeling that you have to respond to someone or risk offending them. I much prefer interacting with people directly in forums like FriendFeed or DMU on Flickr in public than one on one. Email should be reserved for things that really do need to be kept private.

LOL...What would you do w/o FB?
- Tammy Marshall
Tamara: Use My Space? lol
- Geoff Jackson
Thomas: Yeah my Facebook is pretty hectic and I although I do read my messages on there, I can not keep up with them at the rate they come in. I rarely use email at all these days though unless it is to send files to someone. I just hope one day i will not have to find an old message on Facebook, haha
- Geoff Jackson
I am so with you. It's annoying. I spend the most time on Facebook x-ing out people I've never heard of that might be my friends. It gets better. Yesterday I got a notification - where my high priority Scrabble and Lexulous pings turn up - of some guy, never heard of him either, that had just joined FB and did I want to suggest friends. WTF?
- Cathleen Rittereiser
it seems to periodically (weekly?) refresh the suggested friends....
