==========================================
UPDATE February 14, 2012: Many people have noted that Facebook has changed stuff in the last several months and so the bookmarklet broke. I have updated it to work on the new filename Facebook is using, and also to match the protocol you are browsing on. Drag this link to your bookmarks bar and click it when you are on Facebook. You may have to click it twice to work.
Facebook Friends Rankings
==========================================
Have you ever wondered how Facebook orders your search results? Clearly they have some ordering about who they think you are looking for, and they seem to guess pretty well. I can only guess, but it seems like they order it based on who you interact with, whose profile you look at and who you have recently become friends with.
Well Facebook gives explicit numbers to the directed edges (connection going from you to your friend), about how much they think you are looking for this person. I wrote a bookmarklet that makes it easy to see this list. Although you already know who you look at most, it is eerie to see the list they have come up with—and the numbers they give. The more negative the number, the more Facebook thinks you are looking for them.
To try it out, just drag the image here up to your browser’s bookmark bar. Then go to Facebook and click the bookmarklet. More explanation below.
Note: This is really interesting, but may be embarrassing to you.
Try dragging this link if the image doesn’t work for you.
Facebook Friends
Tested on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. If bookmarklet does not work on chrome, just try creating a new bookmark with the javascript as the url.
(Note: If you have https on, it won’t work. You can disable it temporarily by going to Account Settings/Security/Secure Browsing.)
How We Discovered this Link
We were working on our autocomplete search for the website we are building this summer called raunk.com and we were wondering why our autocomplete was so slow. If we typed fast, we could type faster than the results would show up. I thought, “Maybe I just type really fast, faster than the results can load.” We then checked Facebook. If we typed faster than Facebook autocomplete then it had to be okay. Well we started typing, and no matter how fast we typed, they already had results showing up.
How did they do this? Were their servers just that much faster than ours? (They are that much faster than ours.) But what turned out to be the difference was this file that they were preloading called first_degree.php. If you open up the Network panel in the Chrome Inspector or Firebug, you can see this file being requested asynchronously. Select XHR to only see AJAX requests.
Well in this file there is a lot of great information. It’s just JSON. There are probably two files, one which loads your first degree friends, and one which loads your “first degree” pages and events. Well if you open up the JSON file you will see, an ordered list of who Facebook thinks you are looking for.
Basically, you will find a list which is mostly who Facebook thinks you are Facebook stalking. And if you expand the entry you will see a field called ‘index’. ‘index’ is the number they give to that edge. The lower the number the earlier they show up on your search results.
And this stuff is all client-side, so it is all visible to you, and most likely will be for quite some time. This list is surprisingly interesting to check every now and then, and it will make you wonder how their algorithm is working and how those people go there.
Other Interesting Parts of this File
If you look a little more at this file you will find lots of other interesting information. There is an optional field that shows up in some results called ‘tokens’. This ‘tokens’ field stores common aliases to your friend’s name. For example, I have a friend named Michael, and his tokens says ‘mike’. My brothers is named Zach, but his tokens says ‘Brother’. Under Daniel it has ‘dan danny’. So look through the tokens, and find a friend who has a token that is not all close to his or her name. If you search it, you’ll notice that your friend will come up. That’s how it works. These are just common aliases for the name–not ones specific to your friend.
How the Bookmarlet Works
Here is how the bookmarklet works: It creates a script element on the page, gets a javascript file from my blog, and this file makes a request to the file first_degree.php with the correct parameters, and then it displays the results formatted nicely on your page.
UPDATE: Thanks for all the comments and feedback! I really appreciate and am glad you found the bookmarklet interesting and entertaining. If you’d like to contact me about the bookmarklet or about our website raunk.com, just shoot me an email or find me on Twitter @jkeesh.
Really neat, thanks for diving in and explaining this so well.
Wow very nice work…embarrassed to see that i am stalking my old college friend for such a long time any ways nice work
Hi,
I’d like to interview you for PCWorld. WOuld you like to answer some basic questions on the information stated in this article?
very impressive! i love how it works!
I’m not certain, but in my list, it looks like some of the ranked names are friends of my friends who were looking at my page, as opposed to me looking at them.
FYI
I ATTEMPTED THE DRAG AND DROP. IN CHROME THE DRAG AND DROP WORKED BUT WOULD OPEN. IN IE8, THE DRAG AND DROP DID NOT WORK FOR ME.
CANNON
Canon-
FYI your caps lock is broken…
mine did the same :/ and I have no clue how to get to account settings to take it off the http thing
Facebook Settings > Account Settings > Security > Secure Browsing
Uncheck the “Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible” box.
Click on “Save Changes”
it still doesn’t work :/
well it only worked once, can’t get it to work again, what do the numbers on the right side mean?
Well done, guys! Wonderful job!!
Nice find! If you can work out how they come up with these numbers, that would be amazing.
Things that seem very likely to me:
- The list is based on quite recent interactions
- It seems to matter a lot more if you visit someone’s profile than if you just reply to something on your newsfeed
- Facebook doesn’t care if you’ve blocked someone from your newsfeed (in fact, this seems to help: Andy isn’t on my newsfeed because he spams like crazy, I go to his profile once in a while to see what he’s been up to, Facebook see that I like going to his profile)
What I’d like to know:
- Does mucking around with photos etc matter?
- Does the ‘friendship’ page matter?
- Does my rating of someone effect their rating of me?
Also, I’ve noticed that there are a few tokens that are definitely specific to the user.
Maybe the rankings based on how quickly you would respond to someone, in comments or through messages.
What kind of tokens are these? Because as far as I saw, FB only generates nick names and names for relatives (like Mommy etc.). Plus I have some friends with “German” names like Jan and they won’t even come up with male nick names (Jan is male!).
I’m guilty of photo gazing on people that I don’t interact with on FB that much and yes, they’re HIGH on the list
Did not work, I have https enabled by default, so Chromium blocked the insecure request. Enabling the loading of insecure content I still got errors:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.facebook.com/ajax/typeahead/search/first_degree.php?__a=1&filter0=user&lazy=0&viewer=number_censored&token=v7&stale_ok=0. Origin https://www.facebook.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
edges.js:39Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘payload’ of null
That’s cause if you have https turned on, facebook with block the http-request. The request for the first_degree.php is done over http, and is thus blocked by facebook.
works on iexplorer too ;P (yes i use it) P:
“If you have https on, it won’t work.”
So it’s not secure?!

It seems to be very heavily weight towards recent as well as recurrent look-ups; people who sprung up on my newsfeed this morning whose profiles I checked out for the first time in years are in the top ten.
I have 2 duplicate (it looks like) lists. Problem is, a lot of these people are not even on my friends list nor have I ever looked at their profiles nor do I even know who they are. It must be 2 sided. People who are also looking at my profile. Just an FYI
I’ve gone through the list a bit, just picking random names, and some have mutual friends and some don’t.
It appears the list also shows who has looked at you, as people i have never looked at appear on my list!!
I agree, it seems to somehow blend some of my recent lookups with searches by complete strangers I never “touched” on FB.
Nice job. Doesn’t work when secure browsing is enabled in Facebook though.

You could make this work in https on by changing the requested url on runtime. Instead of doing $.ajax({url: “http://www.facebook.com/ajax/typeahead/search/first_degree.php”}), you could use window.location.protocol in place of the “http:”, so just call $.ajax({url: window.location.protocol+”//www.facebook.com/ajax/typeahead/search/first_degree.php”})
Hi aidilfbk – just tried that tip re changing the javascript & it works great.

Interesting to see that the list contains both people that are not my Facebook friends (and that I haven’t searched for etc).
Recency gives high ratings as a friend I connected with only yesterday is high in the list although that is my only interaction with her (haven’t seen a status or even looked at her profile yet).
Nice work!
This has to be 2-sided. People I never heard of and never visited their profile are showing up in my list. A little more investigation shows them as friends of friends or in some cases co-workers.

Pingback: Who Have You Been Stalking the Most on Facebook?
NICE! Of course, I have very few friends on Facebook (<100), so the top of my list is the usual suspects. The bottom of the list has a whole bunch of people I don't know…
This is very interesting, and I’d love to know how they calculate this. Great find!
There was a random person that appeared quite high up (at #50 with a score of ~0.12), so that I had never heard of – I checked her page and we had 10 mutual friends. I’m wondering if this is maybe a result of her recently checking my page (perhaps I was recently one of her ‘suggested friends’), or because other friends have recently added her, as I know there are plenty of other people with more mutual friends that weren’t anywhere near as high up in the list.
There is definitely something going on with the names with the numbers above 1.0
Id like to think that Facebook wouldnt actually have a “who is visiting your profile” anywhere near client side given all the scams. My guess is this has to do maybe with people they think you might want to be connected with?
But just looking at my list there is a clear demarcation between >1.0 and <1.0 for the index.

It seems to be ranking people that you recently interacted with much higher, so either the dataset is limited to recent activity, or it is time-weighted somehow.

The list doesn’t make a lot of sense. The top few are correct, but after that it doesn’t make much sense. The order is all wrong
Think about it dude. “Graph” API. Edges. Nodes/vertices. A discrete mathematician’s or computer scientist’s wet dream, to fiddle with these things and play god and architect how people interact online. Of COURSE they measure all of this shit… they run the servers. They serve the pages. They write the scripts. They maintain the databases. They can do pretty much whatever they want save for reaching out and touching you.
Shocking, but not surprising results when I thought about it a little. It looks like some of them ranked higher from viewing lots of photos.
Bit more insight, someone who I know reasonably well in real life but have no mutual friends and I am sure that I have never looked for (didn’t even know full name) appears near the bottom (top? highest number) on the list. So others searching you must have quite an effect.
Can you please post the source of the javascript file from your blog that it runs? I’m not running unknown scripts on facebook.
Thanks very brilliant!

I don’t think it is showing other people that have looked at you. The people at the top of my list have all participated in conversations with friends I have interacted with recently. This list is friends, and friends of friends and also friends adding new people to their lists. There is a particular person high on my list that a lot of my friends know and they have been adding him, because it appears as “friend has added” regularly on my news feed this is why they are high.

Order and content of the list makes intuitive sense. A friend-of-a-friend, whose music I like, whose page I just looked at, is at the top. Friends I have not looked at for a long time are at the bottom. Fascinating.

Whereas my boyfriend is number 3 only….i am tagged in pics with him, emailed with him, commented on his status and we both wrote on mutual friends’ walls… how can it be that he ranks only one place higher then this guy i have been in touch with on fb perhaps once??
It puts this person so hi because FB knows you secretly love him and will eventually marry him. Tell your bf sorry but FB knows what’s best for continuation of the species.

I am surprised at the rankings though… Some people I regularly check out on FB from the iPhone app do not show up high my rankings, which is what I would’ve expected… This makes me believe that this is truly a client side app only. Guess if you don’t want your GF or BF to know who you’re stalking, use the iPhone app to stalk…
Instead of including the whole jquery library with the script, you should add code that links to the google hosted jquery library inside of your bookmarklet. That way both the only the actual script is loaded and your server isn’t under such a heavy load. Or for that matter just host the whole thing on google.

Interesting script – thanks for sharing.
I’m interested as to why Facebook assign a NEGATIVE number here. For example a friend of mine ranks highly in my list, but I am not stalking her by any means. She has a business page and I visit daily to see what new things she’s posted; 9 times out of 10 I will “like” her post (and quite possibly comment). I’m sure people with business pages get this a lot (I know I do with my own page).
In terms of her ‘impressions’ and ‘engagement’ this is good for her but the negative score appears to paint me in a bad light. It won’t, however, stop me from visiting her page and supporting her business

Interesting. The people who’s profiles I view most are on top, that was expected.
However, there are some people pretty high on that list that I never once looked at the profile. I share one group with them and live in the same city (like about 2 million other people)
That kind of makes me wonder, how this data is gathered. Is it just based on MY search, or do they also take other’s searches into account?
For example, when I type “A” I get a list of a person I’m not friends with but looked at their profile recently. Let’s say I look at their profile every day, will I eventually move up on their list as well?
Because there are really some people on my list that I can’t explain how they got up so far.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that list wasn’t solely based on my own search/activity with one person. I also noticed that the list seems to update pretty fast, meaning if you don’t interact with a person for a short while, they drop down fast.
Seems not to work anymore. Too bad.
High Negative Numbers = People you stalk
Low Negative Numbers = Frequent visits
Zero = “People You May Know” + Rare Visits
Low Positive = ???
This is what I’ve encountered. This is also why some people have no mutual friend people on the list. They are the people which are “People You May Know.” Since the app does not differentiate between zeroes, “People You May Know” may even take precedence over real friends.

I made a dummy account and repetitively searched my main account. When I run the bookmark on my main account, the dummy account does not show up. When I run the bookmark on my dummy account, it shows that I had been searching my main account only. Oddly enough someone has tried to add my dummy account as a friend. That person does not show up on my dummy account list. So, my guess is that the list indicates people you have searched, and does not reflect people that are searching for you.

this numbers are useless until someone figures out what they really ARE.

they must refer to inbound data.

any thoughts?
It appears your code is broken (or FB is blocking it) but the script keeps coming back with a ‘friends is null’ error message here. Maybe with the new FB changes they updated the base code.

Does the ranking system take into account other variables? ie. higher ranking if you declared you are in a relationship with a certain person on facebook regardless on the frequency of visiting his or her facebook?

FB seems to be reverse tracking the list recently, which means people who you searched most, will find you on top of their search list when they look for your name, even without you being their friend. Ha! Try to think of someone that will most likely search for you, but is not your FB friend, and you’ll know what I mean. Yep. FB finally rats us all out.
Interesting, but I’m dying for further explanation as to how these are ranked. I’m happy to see that my best friend is on the top of the list, although I wouldn’t say we both have a huge amount of FB interaction between us, and I don’t view her profile nearly as much as others I “stalk.” The person I feel I interact with the most (mostly leaving comments on status updates and likewise) is only number 8. My number 3 person I work with, but we interact on FB far less than the number 8 person. Going down the list of non-friends, I recognized some but others I have no idea who the hell they are. Number 25 is someone I’m not friends with, although we share mutual friends. Only recall viewing her profile once.
Don’t work anymore.
Note – you must be on the Facebook page when you click on the bookmark. It will do nothing if you remain on this page.

So mine is strange! I tend to not look at people’s profiles, nor do I interact with anyone on Facebook. However– my rankings does include a log of everyone I have interacted with since I started using Facebook. It also has the names of people I have blocked recently.
The weird part is about my rankings, is that my rankings change on a daily basis. It’s still always the same 15 people I notice, but the numbers change and the people move up and down on my list. Does this mean that this also considers who is looking at your profile as well?
wow ………… cooool one …… workz superb
Nothing happened when I tried it (chrome + osx). I had https enabled first.

Wonderful points altogether, you just gained a new reader. What would you suggest in regards to your put up that you simply made some days ago? Any sure?
Thanks for the code!
This seemed to work for a while, and provided results consistent with the interaction ratio with other users. That means, messages, likes, viewing their profile and photos, etc.
For the last couple of weeks it seems to provide somewhat dated results. For instance, there is this person that I used to visit their profile a lot but haven’t done so for about a month. No likes, no msgs, nothing. Their ratio fell from -78 to -58 and have stuck there for weeks.
In the meantime, several persons I interact a lot, in several ways, haven’t increased theire ratio.
Does anybody know, every how many days the Facebook server cache is updated? Because it seems to show the same values for days. Also, what happens with cookies? It sometimes shows DIFFERENT values if I reset the cookies on my PC.
Thanks for any answers and comments.
how do i know whether the opponent ppl looking my profile or not….
found the list following the instructions. now how do I clear it?
Its not working anymore… But there must be some wayout to make it work again.. I hope some genius will find it soon…
One thing I’ve noticed: People that have their names private (you can’t search for them) do not appear on this ranked list, even if you have a link to their profile and you constantly visit it (i.e. though a bookmark).
You are really a just right webmaster. The website loading velocity is incredible. It seems that you’re doing any unique trick. In addition, The contents are masterwork. you have done a excellent task in this matter!
i didn’t understand how can i use it will u teall me plz?
First off, I am fascinated by this subject and your script you have posted is incredible.
That being said, it was working for me a week ago. Then I deleted the link from my bookmarks.
Now, when I drag and drop the link into my bookmarks toolbar, as I did before, clicking the link simply brings me back to this page. Any way to fix this?
Ok I dragged and dropped first the image, and then link because the image didn’t work. I opened a new window, signed into facebook, clicked my “Facebook Friends” bookmark. I have secure browsing turned off in my facebook security settings (“Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) when possible” is UNchecked) I tried with all my add-ons disabled. I tried in Chrome and Internet Explorer. All that happens when I click the bookmark is it brings me back to this page. What am I doing wrong?
I cannot get it to work on Chrome or IE. It just takes me back here :/
Please let me know how to use it? I am exactly following the same issue that is after adding the book martk It just takes me back here.
I put in my bookmarks bar, turned off secure browsing (https) and all that happens when I click on it while at FB is it drives me back to this post…
Same issue for me. I’ve tried all the different things but it just brings me back here.
It did not work on Chrome for me…. i have turned off http on fb but every time i click on the bookmark it just brings me back to this page…..
Same here – i keep coming back here, too.
When I tried this it just sent me back to this website rather than showing me the list – even when I clicked the bookmarklet whilst on facebook. Help?
I know that I’m just repeating the last few comments, but I also couldn’t get this to work on the latest version of Firefox. Maybe Facebook fixed the loophole.
Anyone know why this doesn’t work anymore??
Same problem. What is going on? I just tried it on firefox and internet explorer with https off and it just brings me back to this page!!!!
Possibly a new year thing why it stopped working?
Judging by the comments, since 2012 everyone has just been taken back to this page. Same happened to me- really annoying coz i read all the other comments about how awesome it is.
Would like to see if it comes back!!
The world must be coming to an end.
The file first_degree.php is not being loaded any more. Instead they seem to be using one called bootstrap.php. It seems to contain similar information, but with entries ordered in an array it seems?
Could be fun to reverse engineer this file and make the script work again.
The data is all still there, they just use the userid instead of the name. Makes it harder to look through, but it’s still there.

If I click on the bookmark it just takes me back to this page (while in FB, with secure connection off). As far as I can see that is all the bookmark is – a link to this page.
@Chompy, @tiny00: Its all about the link of the bookmark. This was once the correct javascript, but is now just this pages URL with a “#” added. I dont know why, but if the described effect occurs, the bookmark is perfectly working.
So, it seems like the script doesn’t run because it can’t read /’/ as an apostrophe. Fix that in the code and it runs

Looks like Facebook is blocking the script now, it’s not working anymore.
Yeah, I was disappointed too, every time I click it, it doesn’t appear anymore on my screen. I wonder what happened? Is there anyway to contact the person who created the list and ask them about it?
yep, seems like it’s been changed significantly enough that the bookmark script doesn’t work now.
ITS JUST KEEP BRINGING ME BACK HERREEEEEE
No worky anymore?
The only way I got it working was by running the script (http://thekeesh.com/js/edges.js) in Firebug’s console. Still: nice work from the Keeshmeister!
How do you disable this “Typeahead” search feature on Facebook?? Is it possible to do so?
Hello Website owner. I seriously enjoy the particular posting and the site all in all! That posting is actually quite clearly written as well as simply understandable.
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your article seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Thanks
goodPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy honey……………………………………………..:its a good idea yrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It’s been working fine for me.
I stumlbed on this about 6 months. I check every so often and every time it has worked and the numbers are still changing so it is updating too.
add me facebook
Nope no good for me either
The script works (I checked today, I had saved it as book mark a few months ago), I think the problem is with the bookmark posted on the site.
you said the bookmark on the site doesn’t work correct? so whats the one the you used?
It’s not working for me. Even though I had saved it in my bookmark bar months ago too! Does anyone know why it might not be working? Does anyone have any idea who was the person who made this list?
Can you please post the script? thanks!!!
Try making your own bookmark and set it’s location [URL] to this:
javascript:(function(){var%20script=document.createElement(‘script’);script.type=’text/javascript’;script.src=’http://thekeesh.com/js/edges.js’;document.getElementsByTagName(‘body’)[0].appendChild(script);}())
Have fun.
It doesn’t work. I tried it several times. I stopped even the security measures as told above. Very sad
I’ve got the same problem as Steve up there, it’s not working for me.
Does anyone have the old bookmarked link? Perhaps this new one was changed to just bring us back to the article.

Hi all. Facebook changed the filename that it used to store this info which broke the bookmarklet. I’ve updated it now, and so it should work again.
Thanks a bunch Jeremy!
If this isn’t the most brilliant web development of our generation then I don’t know what is!

Pingback: Facebook Friends Ranking Bookmarklet Works Again | thekeesh.com
Hey, I tried both, the script that gaylor posted:
javascript:(function(){var script=document.createElement(‘script’);script.type=’text/javascript’;script.src=’http://thekeesh.com/js/edges.js’;document.getElementsByTagName(‘body’)[0].appendChild(script);}())
and the new one released on february 14th. They both show more or less the same ranking, but there are some major differences. E.g. there is a person I don’t know who moved from -12 to -21. Is there an explaination for this?
Can you make a bookmarklet to show who is viewing your profile?
