So for those of you on FB, you know how on your left hand side it suggests ''people you might know''?

 

Well, my FB has been suggesting loads of people who are on Coldplay payroll. How weird is that?? They are all very well known to regular Coldplayers....but how does my Facebook know that I might know these people? WEIRD!

If you're friends with at least one coldplayer, that does it. If not, it must be because you like the same pages as us or join the same groups. :)

Yes but I am talking abut people like Chris' PA and his bodyguard....so weird but kind of cool.....

What?! Okay, that is weird. :wtf:

^That smilie kind of looks like the expression on Chris's face in your avi :D

You should look at all of your friends' friends lists, and see if those suggestions are on any of their lists. Of course, that may take some time...

 

Also, there was a security issue recently (it's been happening for some time, but just now discovered) when people access Facebook through a fb app instead of through a PC. Apparently if they were using apps, people's info was getting out even when their security settings were all set to private, etc. That could also be a reason those people were suggested to you (i.e., by mistake because of privacy/security app loophole).

 

EDIT: I never pay attention to the suggestions, so who knows, maybe they showed up as suggestions for me too and I just didn't notice it. :lol:

You're right! :) I actually chose that picture for my avi so that Chris would look upon all my replies with that expression. :P

:uhoh: I use the Facebook app. :worried:

I'm sorry, I misspoke myself. It's the apps people use on Facebook, not the Facebook app. If that makes sense. :\

Don't be sorry; I just misunderstand everything in this thread. :blank:

Thank you for clearing it up for me. :nice: Now I'm more relieved as I don't use many of those apps anymore. :P

It's not whether you actively use the apps... it's whether you've given them info permissions or not...

:wtf: ...... :awesome:

 

You should add them! haha

I did email Kelly and we messaged a few times!

I hate you :cry:

Oh lol dont hate me......my life is probably way more crap and boring than yours!

I did email Kelly and we messaged a few times!

 

who's Kelly?

Well then, it's clear where the suggestions are coming from then. Your email contacts.

No they are not my email contacts! I messaged Kelly through FB. If only I had Coldplay staff in my contacts....ha ha.

 

Kelly is Chris's bodyguard while the band are on tour.

:surprised: :awesome:

 

I'm too curious... about what, if I may ask?

No they are not my email contacts! I messaged Kelly through FB. If only I had Coldplay staff in my contacts....ha ha.

oooh :lol:

Oh haha. Odd. Sometimes hotmail and the such tend to automatically save as email contacts, that's the only plausible suggestion I can come up with to explain it.
