"Do not have a hundred rubles, but have a hundred friends"(folk wisdom)
Another more, another less...
You go to a friend's page, look, and he has only 200 VKontakte friends. Why so few? and start looking for reasons. And it would be worth thinking about other things. For example, why order of friends VKontakte exactly like this? Because if we open full list friends, remember it, reload the page, we will see exactly the same order. What's the secret? And the dog, as it turns out, is buried at the very surface.
So. As we know, there are two types of friends list - one that displays six online friends and just six friends. If you notice, the friends on these lists never repeat. In addition, in the six of your friends, some appear more often, others less often. What is the focus? The trick is how often you visit their page. The more often you visit, the more often they are visible in this window.
Similar order of friends VKontakte in the general list. Login to your account social network VKontakte, click on the “Friends” button on the left in the menu, and we have a list of our friends. In it, friends are sorted as above and mentioned by the frequency of your visits to their pages. Now if we go to the second tab "Online" friends, we will notice the same thing - order of friends VKontakte same.
But if you went to your friend, or just jumped on an unfamiliar page, then the list of friends for you will be sorted differently. Here the list is sorted by the frequency of these friends visiting this person's page. In other words, who visits more often is higher on the list. The logic is simple and clear.
By the way, this rule was introduced not so long ago. Used to be friends were sorted by the value of their rating - whoever has a steeper rating is higher in the list. But first, the administration of the social network changed VKontakte order of friends, and then completely abandoned the rating.
Many young Internet users are wondering: is it possible to find out the list of best friends from your friend in VK? Or did one of my friends put me in the category of important? In this article, I will answer these questions and share my experience in identifying important friends with my friends on the VKontakte social network. First, you need to understand what these terms generally mean.
Who will we classify as important friends?
Important (best) friends in VK are formed from a general list with whom the account owner most often communicates. This does not mean that personal correspondence is meant. The word "communication" refers to all types of activity committed in relation to specific user In contact with.
This includes:
- View new photos and latest news;
- Writing comments;
- Placement of reposts;
- Frequent visits to the page;
- Likes.
With all this, activity can be expressed not from one side, but from both. That is, when a friend from the user's list opens his page, writes a comment there, leaves a like under the photo, then he is automatically added to the group of best friends.
In addition, all people recently added to the friends list will be in the best group for some period. This will be the case until the system determines that the owners of both accounts do not express any interest in each other's records.
All best friends stay on top lines common list of friends. Recently added people are moved to the very top of the list so that the user does not "lose sight of them" and does not forget about them.
Is it possible to determine who is a user's best friends
You can determine how important a friend is from the list of friends of another user in VK by looking at the list of his friends. But this will not be a 100% guarantee that they are actually important to him.
Perhaps he just recently added them to his list, or they themselves showed attention to given user. After all, as we remember, to fall into the “important” category, you just need to go to your friend’s page and write a comment or like it there.
Take a closer look at your own list of friends, and you will also notice on the top lines of those people with whom you have not even communicated today and have not visited their pages for several days.
It is likely that they are your "fans", they are interested in what you write on your wall and what you publish on the page. Being active in relation to you, they will stay among the “best” friends for more than one day.
Find out who is on a friend's "important" list
Well, now let's analyze what best friends mean, and how to find out this list from your friend. When we add new friends to ourselves, VK automatically offers us to sort them.
That is, we can indicate who we are related to the added person:
- family member;
- close friend;
- work colleague;
- acquaintances from the university, etc.
- You can find out who belongs to the "best" friends section of your friend on VKontakte by opening his friends list.
- You can do this by visiting your friend's page and viewing his friends list.
- You can also use your own list of friends - in front of your friend's avatar, you need to click on the "view friends" icon.
- After going to the list of friends of your friend, you will see icons next to the photo, symbolizing "important" friends, "relatives", etc.
- Your avatar will be at the top of the list, and you will immediately see if you are in the "best" friends.
- So by reviewing all your friends, you will find out who is on the list of "important" and who is in the category of ordinary friends.
Many users do not pay attention to all these categories, objectively believing that the "best" friend does not need publicity. And maybe they are right!
Having done these simple manipulations, your eye will be presented with a new window for viewing, in which it will be called " new list"in our case, "Those who can see my album" and add to this group those friends whom you consider necessary, that is, those who can visit this folder and view this album. After all you right friends and comrades will be added to the list - press the save button.
After that, we already see that an inscription appears near the photo of some of the friends that was previously "list name". If you did not immediately add the desired comrade to specified list VKontakte, you just need to subsequently click "add to list" and uncheck the box next to the list.
Why sort VKontakte friends
Why do we need such a wonderful feature as sorting VKontakte friends into folders? Everything is very simple. People are different and many do not want to remove a person from their VKontakte friends for fear of offending, and at the same time, many do not want some people not to have this or that information. Since friendship in social networks and friendship in real life are two big differences. Often people are added to your VKontakte as friends who seem to be acquaintances, but not quite friends, and you would not want them to own your personal information. That's why the function of sorting VKontakte friends is a very useful thing.
Most users of the social network have repeatedly asked the question: "How is the list of friends" VKontakte "is formed?". So what does it depend on? From the system? From user? You will probably be surprised to learn that both factors affect how the VKontakte friends list is built.
There are two ways to find out who is in your friends:
Go to your page and in the menu, to the left of the main photo, select the item "My friends" - it is the second from the top.

In any case, by selecting one of the items, you will be taken to the same page. In the middle of it there will be a list of friends and several functions for processing their pages. From the very top there is a column for quick search- the name or surname of a friend is entered into it, and on the right - a more advanced search by gender, city and age.
How is the list of friends "VKontakte" formed?
At the very top are those people whose pages you visit most often. Their list is generated automatically and depends only on your active pastime on the accounts of your friends. Which tabs from the menu on the right would you not open, for example, " phone book”, “new friends” - the list is created automatically. The same is true for the online tab.

Probably, many of us noticed the VKontakte tab « Possible friends» , but not everyone knows what it is for and how it works. It is about this and will be discussed in this article.
Let's take a look at what the tab looks like "Possible Friends" maybe no one noticed it.
And how many of those who know about it have guessed how this function works, and by what principle does it determine people with whom we may be familiar? Everything is very simple. Let's open this section and study it in more detail. Having done this, you will notice that most of the people who are there are those with whom we communicated, but did not add as friends, or we have mutual friends. Now it's a little clearer how it works given function, but that's not all.
At first this list is formed based on the people with whom you have mutual friends. Then there is the whole chain. Those users are searched for whose profile contains the same city as yours, the same job and other factors. That is, it is a smart algorithm that constantly updates the list of your possible friends. Let's say you added someone as a friend and immediately, from the list of his friends, there will be those who have friends in common with you, and they will be offered to you as your possible acquaintances. Here is the whole principle of the section "Possible Friends".
Certainly accurate and reliable information impossible to get. Only the developers of the VKontakte site know this. It can be assumed that VK collects anonymized data that is tied to an identifier, or buys it from other networks. But this is just an assumption, and do not be afraid, your personal data is not collected.
Conclusion
We hope you now understand how this function works. With the help of it, you will find your old acquaintances or even meet people from your city, educational institution.
