Top friends on Facebook –
Top friends on Facebook are not determined randomly, they are determined by lots of factors that Facebook uses to assign them as top friends are feature them at your Facebook timeline section. Some of the important features that Facebook considers are:
- Friends who sent you private msg
- Friends who liked or commented on your feeds
- Friends who visited your profile
- Friends you visited their profiles (But those friends are showed in the little box in the top of your Facebook Timeline )
If you aren’t active on Facebook, don’t comment anywhere, don’t chat with friends through Facebook then the next important feature Facebook is considering is who visited your Facebook profile. So, if that’s the case then you can be pretty sure that friends appearing at your Top Friends section are the people for you who visited my Facebook Profile.
