How is it helpful to have a computer tell me who I should be friends with?
- recursive 10y agoIt's not. But it could be useful for a computer to tell you who it thinks you might already be friends with, so you can find them on facebook.
- AndrewKemendo 10y agoIt's not telling you. Telling you would be automatically making you friends. It's a suggestion based on factors along a social graph. If it's right, great! Saved you time from searching, or nudged you to create a stronger communications channel than you previously had (ostensibly). If it's wrong, you just ignore it.
