When you need to find your friends on Facebook, Facebook has a separate page, called ‘Find Facebook Friends’. You can find and invite your friends to Facebook by importing contacts from Skype, Orkut, Yahoo, Hotmail or any other email services.
Apart from this, you can also upload a csv contact file and search friends on Facebook. Now the Find Facebook friends suggestion page has been revamped. The interface has changed completely with easy access to find friends who’re on Facebook.
The page has revamped into two columns. The left sidebar column is left for filtering options. The right side all the Facebook profiles are listed with Add as a Friend option constantly visible. It help you find other users through various filtering options such as based on hometowns, company organization, high school, etc
First you will see Friends who are mutual and shared network connections, then you can categorize based on the filters which are provided on the left sidebar such as college, current city, hometown, office etc. You can also create custom filters. You can combine filters for specific suggestions.
With the introduction of this revamped finds friends page, new friends can be found easily for networking. Now its easier to find people without knowing their name, as long as you can filter by at least two categories. For example, the place where you currently live in and the place where to currently work with.
Finding new people is made much easier now with the new Facebook Friends Finder tool!
Actually, I think the “new tool” sucks horribly. It’s fine if you KNOW any of that information about someone. But what if you don’t? What if you’re trying to find someone from your past, and you DON’T know any of the “allowed filters” information? How are you supposed to find them? There are MANY more reasons this tools sucks, but that is one of them. And why can’t you search for someone if they use Gmail? Soon to be the LARGEST e-mail service on the internet, but you can’t search with it. This tool was created by Zuckerberg to keep people from searching for someone just by their name and many other “filters” he doesn’t like. Personally I think he’s an ass, and a miniature dictator, ( think Napoleon complex) with an ego issue, but that’s just me.
