Facebook seems to function these days as the hub of our familial, friendly and informal relationships these days so it should come as no surprise that Facebook knows who is most important in your life. They are also ranking your relationships and, er, who you stalk with their algorithm. Arjun Sreedharan has devised a script that will enable you to see your friend’s ranking score and who is checking on your profile often. While the numbers bear no meaning to us, when we compare these numbers with other friends, the ranking process begins to make sense. The lower the number, the more crucial the connection.
You can figure out what Facebook thinks of your friendships, too. Here’s what you do:
– Drag this link into your browser bookmark bar.
– Log in through Facebook and click on that bookmark.
– A list of rank scores that appear similar to the image above will show you how Facebook has measured your relationships with those individuals.
This information affects the order of results you get when you try to search for someone, the content you get in your news feed and, interestingly enough, who appears in that friends section when they’ve visited your profile. Getting a furtive look at your frenemy’s profile may not be as secretive as you think.
