Off lately I logged on to my Orkut after quite some time. I found a list of members as ‘suggested friends’ by Orkut. I know some while others I have met once in a while and a few were totally unknowns.
Does anyone know on what basis Orkut suggests such a list?
Just wondering…

+1....my last account was disabled by google, so i created a totally new id, and when i saw the suggested friends list, i was like ...WTF ...i knew most of them, some were my friends, some were friends of friends (whom i never met .. just heard names ) my ex-gf, and some schoolmates, only a few were unkowns .... cant get the logic behind it...

Common friends. If two or more friends of yours know a guy, that guy is probably your friend as well.

It gets based on Mutual friends listing, and most probably on the City and country tags...

^^ Not necessarily, I have been suggested ppl who live in Minneapolis, USA, but had mutual friends with me

i had created an acc for a frnd some weeks back... suggested friends lists all d friends of ur friends at least when u hav only few frnds to begin with. the older users dont have access to dis list

@dheeraj_kumar: Ya I told na...It's based on mutual friends...

its based on gmail address book

Me too saw a list of suggested friends when I opened the orkut account after 5 months. But how come I invite them to be my friend. I never really know them or I don't have any friends in Orkut which will suggest them to be my friend.
