Remember the days when there were lots of Facebook apps that supposedly helped you to identify which friends responds and comments on your posts the most. All of those apps were fake? However, we’ve discovered a technical way that may identify your most active Facebook stalkers. Here’s how to do it -
#1 Open Facebook (Of course… otherwise what are we doing?)
#2 Right click on any white area of the web page, and press “View Page Source”, “Show Page Source”
or something similar to that. It’s worded slightly differently for different browsers.
#3 You will see a page full of code, but that doesn’t matter.
#4 Press Ctrl + F, for Mac users press Command + F and Search [orderedfriends]
#5 Afterwards you will see a series of numbers like “123456789″
#6 Type in the numbers after Facebook URL, e.g.
www.facebook.com/123456789
#7 Are these the people who your biggest Facebook Stalkers?
If you think this is too complicated and slow, we have found a website which can simplify all the work for you so that you don’t have to paste them in one at a time. However, the website is in Chinese, so here’s the full instructions about how to use it.
#Bonus 1 Go back to the page that full of programming codes.
#Bonus 2 Press Ctrl + A to select all and press Ctrl + C to copy the whole page
#Bonus 3 Go to: http://tw.piliapp.com/event/facebook-ordered-friends/
#Bonus 4 Go to the box where the red arrow pointing and press Ctrl + V to paste to whole page source on it
#Bonus 5 It will display all the friends
Do you think this hack can really reveal your Facebook stalkers? Try it out yourself and tell us what you find.
no, these are the people you interact with most.
I’m not sure I agree with either scenario. Most the people at the top of my list were people I don’t talk/interact with very much at all. But at the same time I can’t imagine them checking my own page out very much.
If anything it is more likely to be a list of who you stalk the most as they are prioritising your view.
This is the list they use to order the facepile chat boxes on the left side. Which, as Lindsay mentioned are the people you probably interact with most.
also, the people who appear first on search box
on the chatbox they show up by alphabetic order…..
in my case i think this is the list of people with whom i interact most.
Very interesting, but I agree with the other commenters. I see a lot of people that I know barely use facebook. I think this has to do more with the people that I stalk lol.
Ok, here’s the definitive word. My sister is #1 on my list, and I just texted her to ask how often she goes to my page. Answer: Never!
My theory, after reviewing the source code, is that this list of 200 or so people are the preferred friends who appear in the upper chat sidebar. The code relates to javascript pagelet sidebar.
It just lists interaction between pages. It’s subjective to each person to decide how often they initiate the interaction between the two pages. If I know that I am not an active participant in the interactions between myself and someone at the top of this list I can assume fairly accurately that they are of my top stalkers.
it doesnt work for mem but I think its the facebook chat thing.
No it does not work. "orderedfriends" is not in my page source.
The more I look at this site – the more of a cheap imitation it seems to lifehacker. A lot of the information doesn't seem to be vetted well.
It used to work.
It used to work. No longer apparently.
You see the series of numbers after search for initial chat friends list with no spaces.
