Facebook Starts Recommending Friends Not On Site

Think Facebook knows a lot about you from all the information you enter into the site? Well it now appears that Facebook may soon know a lot more than you thought. In the past few days Facebook added a new feature on the Friends page which enables you to view “Friends without Facebook Profiles”. I checked it out and Facebook seems to think that none of my friends aren’t on Facebook. While inaccurate, I’m not sure if I am relieved to see that Facebook doesn’t know which friends aren’t registered.

So how does Facebook mysteriously determine which of your friends aren’t on the site? One theory I have is related to photo tagging.
