Facebook just released a small but useful feature that shows a list of friends that you may have connections with, rightfully titled ‘People You May Know.’
The new section resides towards the bottom of the right-hand column of your Facebook home page. Clicking ’see all’ takes you to the list of possible friends you may want to befriend. The list of friends are based upon the number of common friends you have with the person.
This new feature is helpful for those users who don’t have these friends in their contact lists, weren’t aware that they were online, or just lost touch with. Either way, Facebook is providing a cool feature to help us better connect with people we may know by using our current friends as a middleman without even bugging them.

It’s like a slow evolution towards providing a profession orientation like LinkedIn. It’s a wonder that LinkedIn hasn’t done something similar.
It seems that each social graph will gradually step upon each other’s toe.
