Frequently asked questions

What do the results mean?
TrustFlow is making a guess at who is "near" your friends list; who might be on it, but isn't. It does this by looking at your friends list, and the friends list of your friends, and so on.

Is this based on who reads my journal, or interests, or what?
No.

Here's a long explanation I gave a friend who posted this meme in their blog. Maybe this'll help

i am lost

[lost_rose]

hell i guess thats why i am called lost rose LOL. I dont understand any of this at all could someone please explain.

[musical_sarcasm]

Okay. Everything works until I try to post it in my lj. I'm already sighed in, like always, and when I click on the button to have it put it in my lj, nothing shows up in the update.

That's weird. If I press that button on your results it looks right. What browser/OS are you using?

[musical_sarcasm]

netscape. does that really make a difference?

I am completely confused as to both the point and the result of this feature. and nope...the explanations that are already out there do not make sense.

Plain english, please.....what the heck?

I've got not an error message per se, but something more disturbing: a person appears at the top of the list (in the 0-50 range) who I've never heard of at all, and upon clicking that particular user profile, I see absolutely nobody on said user's friends list who I've heard of either. In other words, someone who would be a large number of degrees removed has managed to appear at the top of the board.

The remainder appear to be ordering correctly.

Very cool feature.

Um, it worked pretty well except it included someone who IS on my friends list. That's confusing.

You're not the first to mention this. Strange! Will try and diagnose.

nifty thing here... it pointed out to me that some folks I thought I'd added to my f-list hadn't been. But now that I *have* added them, the algorithm won't re-calculate (or otherwise do the thing that it does...). I'd love to see new results, now that some of the folks on the first result list have been added!

I've seen that as well, but the person in question had been recently added to my list. I suspect it was using cached data that was slightly out of date.
