[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Facebook makes “friend suggestions” based on who visits your page. So your boss might be able to deduce that you’ve looked her up because Facebook will likely suggest you as a friend. [/quote]

Nah, it doesn't.

[quote]Friend suggestions come from things like:
Having friends in common
Your networks, such as your current city, school or work
Being in the same Facebook group
Being tagged in the same photo or post
Contacts you uploaded
[/quote][/quote]

Run an experiment. Have someone who is not a FB friend spend a few minutes looking at your profile and pictures. Then wait several days and see if they come up as a friend suggestion.[/quote]

It’s just one factor that determines who shows up.  There are many… friends in common, being in the same place(s) at the same time, likes, etc.

So yeah, you may end up in the suggested friends but it’s not going to be obvious that it’s because you looked them up.  Plenty of people I look up never show up in mine and many many people who show up in mine, I am sure I haven’t looked up and haven’t looked me up. [/quote]
