Facebook Suggest-a-Friend

As frequent users of Facebook may have noticed, the popular social-networking site has added a feature to suggest friends to other friends. This is useful if, say, Friend A doesn’t know that Friend B is on Facebook. Unfortunately, this feature is currently limited to new friends only; you can’t recommend friends to those that are already on your list of friends. However, I’ve discovered that with a little URL hacking, you can get around that quite easily. >:-)

  1. Open the profile of the friend that you want to suggest friends to. The URL at the top of your browser should read something like this: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=123456789 (with possibly some extra stuff at the end)

  2. At the end of the id string, type (or copy and paste) the following “&suggestfriends” so that the address looks like this: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=123456789&suggestfriends
  3. Hit <enter>, and there you go! Suggest to your heart’s content! :)
