Facebook Friends

Once in a while you’ll see on your hompage a link where you can suggest friends to people, however it isn’t always available. Doing a search within Facebook yielded nothing. I spent a few minutes digging into this to see if I could develop a URL that would allow me to suggestion friends whenever I want. Below is the answer.

First, you will need to identify the friend you want to make suggestions to. Look at the URL you see when you hover over their profile picture. Here is what I see when I hover over mine:

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=1510059740

The ID at the end is my unique identifier. Now, all I needed was the URL I needed to append the ID to. A little bit of digging and I constructed the following URL:

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?suggestfriends&id=100000453262369

Replace the id at the end of the URL with the ID of the friend you want to make suggestions to. Success!
