What determines the order that ppl appear on the partial list of friends on your main 360 page?

Question

On the main page that ppl can view....what determines the order that ppl appear? Does it go by how many views that person has, the last time someone commented, or the last time they were online? Or is it just totally random?

Answer 1

Who appears on your top page partial friend list is determined by when they update their page.

For example.. if someone on your friend list has a RSS Feed into their profile page from one of the news services like Yahoo, and that service updates twice a day.. then that friend will be placed into the top spot of your page as the newest alert to an update that you have..

Yahoo's new service updates hourly. .. so that friend is pretty much on that top spot all the time.

It also will put you on that page if you post a new blog or update your blast or change your profile informtion.

We have no control over it unfortunately.. but there is a good reason I suppose.. it doesn't promote any kind of competition to be among the Top 5 of a contacs friends... everyone is considered loved equally.. no jealousy among members leads to less problems caused by it.
