Facebook was born at Harvard University in America, with the aim of keeping students in touch with each other, both during their studies and after. Nobody would have imagined that it would then become a worldwide network full of business opportunities.
Despite the growth of the platform, there is no doubt that Facebook's original function remains to remain in contact with friends and find new ones .
There is no better place to reconnect with classmates or colleagues from past work and it is, for many, fun to always add new friends.
In this very light and pure pastime article, we see how to look for new friends and how to contact people with common interests on Facebook, without sending random friend requests.
Although there are suggestions from friends on Facebook that are very helpful in helping you discover new ones to add, there are better and more effective ways to connect with other people.
There are no tricks, the search for new friends can be done both with the tool integrated in Facebook and through external applications.
It is understood that each search is based on the information given by users that must be truthful.
It is clear that whoever signs up with a false name will be nowhere to be found as well as someone who puts false information or does not write anything about himself.
1) Find people via the email address
This is the first option that appears when you hit " Find new friends " on Facebook.
All major webmail services like Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail are supported.
If you use email programs such as Outlook Express, Thunderbird or AppleMail, you can click on the blue line where it says " upload the contact file " and load the list of email addresses taken from the program's address book.
For the Microsoft Outlook program, the most used in the world, Facebook allows you to automate your search by downloading a small facebook.exe file that searches for contacts from your address book completely automatically.
2) Finding high school or university classmates is the easiest way to find people and friends.
Let's say that school information is more or less true for everyone; it is difficult for someone not to compile information about the last school done and, above all, to lie about having made one rather than another.
Education is something everyone cares about and you can lie about grades but not about which high school you attended (it wouldn't even make sense).
3) Finding co-workers can be easy if you are looking for current ones while, for ex-colleagues in past jobs, there may be problems.
The fact is that in the compilation of the profile, the work section is structured in such a way that, for example, if I changed tomorrow, I would not add a new entry but I would like to change the existing one thus making past references disappear.
However, you can still try because many are much more precise than me and look for ex-colleagues simply by entering the name of the Company.
4) Find people to chat with in MSN Messenger, Skype or other instant messaging networks .
You can simply enter your AOL, ICQ, or Windows Live Messenger account to let Facebook find your chat friends.
5) The Find Friends page is the official Facebook page to browse friends and possible people who can be known, filtering them based on the workplace, school, university, city where they live and friends in common.
6) To find new friends available to be contacted and with common interests you can do an advanced search through the search for profiles and Facebook pages, the best tool to search for friends on Facebook.
Every Facebook user can examine this list to find other people by name and discover other Facebook profiles with which you can interact.
All you need is to know the name of the person to find on Facebook.
However, the list only applies to those who have configured the permission to keep their profile available for public research.
I think those who try to have more friends and to make new acquaintances, will certainly be able to have fun and use the free and popular Facebook instead of the expensive and shabby dating sites.
