I'm always surprised when I log into facebook (which isn't very often anymore) at the people that Facebook thinks I should be friends with. 90 percent of the people, I don't know and the other 10 percent, I'd never be friends with. Just in the last week, I've done a bit of a test and haven't added one person. I'm not a typical facebook user because I have at most 30-40 friends. I only keep people on there that I actively talk to (and Andrew and Ashley are two of them). I'm amazed that the same people keep popping up as well.
I might be the only one, but I love Twitter so much more than Facebook, but again, it's the same thing over and over again as well. I 'm a Montreal Canadiens fan, why would I want to follow the Toronto Maple Leafs. I detest em. And just because I follow kiddchris, doesn't mean I want to follow howard stern or bubba the love sponge. I like Facebook and Twitter, but let's make the suggestions smarter. People I don't want to follow on either shouldn't keep showing up.
As a friendly reminder, you can follow my twitter here Dave's Twitter or on facebook here.

I think it's funny that Facebook is intuitive enough to know that there are certain people I'm connected to by current friends, but isn't intuitive enough to know that if I haven't added that person in the last 6 months since the recommendation, there's probably a reason why.
I hate this too! It is annoying though even now and then I get a few that are legit, it is usually a family member new to the site but I often wonder whose suggestions I show up on.
