IMO, it's not about about being related to chat messages or not related. It's definitely related. The #1 on my list has moved up to that spot recently, while our chatting has increased and interactions have decreased. There is some formula that we don't know and likely won't ever know. My guess would either be by what percentage of our messages/likes/interactions go to certain people or giving different actions relative weights (e.g. 50 chat messages = a post on someone's wall) and then that list is ranked according to some raw score. I maintain, as I said below, that the users are assigned values from -1 to 1 with our various interactions factoring into that. The jackpot question people seem to want to answer is whether it's a one-sided statistic or two-sided.

According to some research, it seems it only takes into account who would be viewing your profile. People I've tested this with say they would check someone's profile non-stop daily but would have them on that list all the way down to #10 or so. I think a problem is also trying to create a reference for this. Like how often they view it or how much is needed to get to the top spot. How many times does the top person interact with our profile? Because realistically, it could be anything without a reference. Also, did you get any more info on when it updates?

  I've been keeping an eye on the sound thing and it has not changed. However, in hindsight I think I looked at the wrong section of code for what I thought I was looking for. In another section, there is this string: "<li class="uiMenuItem uiMenuItemCheckbox uiSelectorOption" data-label="Chat Sounds"><a class="itemAnchor" role="menuitemcheckbox" tabindex="0" href="#" aria-checked="false">" That corresponds to the setting Chat Sounds in the menu with the gear on the chat sidebar. Mine is turned off currently, but I will turn it on and refresh the page source to see if it changes.

  Just checked and it updated immediately to "true" when I turned Chat Sounds back on and immediately to "false" when I subsequently unchecked the setting. So that at least leaves open the possibility that the ID number list updates automatically.

  I'm not so sure. I've been watching this since I found out about it a few days ago and it seems like it goes both ways. I took a few people who were numbers 15 or 16 on my list (didn't automatically show up on chat list) and went out of my way to like a few of their photos. They all started showing up on chat even when they weren't online.

You are correct that OrderedFriends has been replaced with IntialFriendsChatList. Oddly, my Ex-Girlfriend, who I have had just about ZERO contact with for 6 weeks is always #1. Plus, even when we were together we almost never used FB to communicate. My best friend is #3, and we NEVER communicate on FB. Either FB has implanted chips in our brains and hires people to stalk us or, more likely, this list really does show you who views your page the most...

  P.S. Just though I would add: I do view my Ex's page (perhaps more than I should ;p), however...I NEVER go to my BFs page. And then my mom is way up there on the list too...

  Thanks for this guys. Just to add info, I never use chat 1 - My ex's cuzin (restricted my ex from viewing my profile). I sometimes like her stuff, she never likes or comments on mine. 2 - An old mate. He never ever comes on Facebook. I never visit his profile. 3 - A girl in my course who I have a crush on. Sometimes interact 4 - My close friend. Regular interactions. 5 - My ex. No interactions at all over last few months. None of these ppl are in my 'close friends' list. On this i think it's based on each profile views both ways. & not upon frequency of views but relative to Facebook use.

    Checked it just a few minutes ago and it seems like facebook had changed some settings.. A friend of mine whom I have NEVER interacted with appears SECOND on my list..

Your comments make a lot of sense to me. I agree about the 'jackpot' unknown. I do not use chat, yet I have a 'InitialChatFriendsList' that seems plausible to be "who views me" moreso than "who I view". What do you think?
