How does the FaceBook friend suggester work?

Wouldn't it only suggest people with whom you have mutual friends? Or you worked at the same company or went to the same school? FaceBook isn't playing matchmaker now, is it? hmmm

I think they do it by looking how many facebook members you have in your e-mail-list..facebook colaborates with a lot of e-mail providers these days.

that could only happen if you provide it with access to your email address book

It works, but it's based just on stuff in your profile, and your friend's friends. It's a toss up based on what you have in your profile, and who your friends are, really.

I had someone suggested to me that had NO mutual friends to me. So what is the suggestion based on?

I did. You talked about friend's friends, and profile info. Neither is really relevant in this case.
