To suggest friends all you have to do is go to the person you want to suggest a friend to and go under their friends list and go all the way to the bottom and its got a link.

But is there anything (a Facebook app perhaps) that generates suggestions of friends? Would be very cool…and one would think Facebook could easily do it based on the data mining already happening.

Ah cool, I guess they will recommend friends who have a lot of friends in common with you and maybe even look at how they know each other, ie if you all know each other from school.

Nope… close, though. It’s already implemented. A friend joined the site and added me as a friend. When I confirmed her, Facebook asked me to suggest friends that we had in common that she might not know were on the site. Since it was a not-very-social-networking-literate friend, I went ahead and sent her the folks we have in common.

Erm. It clearly says “Email me when someone *suggests a friend to me*”

i.e. I know that friend A knows friend C, but A and C are not friends yet. So I presume there will be a link on the profile to suggest this person to another friend.

Actually, this option is listed under notifications as a possible action that a friend would take… note the other options right above it. This indicates that Facebook will somehow let you suggest people to your current friends, not that Facebook will be making suggesstions.
