On Facebook, you can see what pages your friends view now, but they have taken it one step further.  Now you can view the pages that people of a similar demographic like.  It will be interesting to see how users figure out how to game this system to get massive coverage.  If you’re involved at all with Internet Marketing, this should be on your radar.

They have an algorithm for figuring out the relevancy of the suggestions, not unlike how other demographic and interest comparison sites work, like: Pandora, Netflix, or Digg.  I think a great addition to the like system would be a rating system, for two reasons.  Your interests could be weighted, and the relevancy and quality of a page based on user input can be used in the algorithm.

For now, suggestions can’t be sponsored, but I can see that as a future revenue stream for them if this takes off.  They will also only show pages that are receiving high levels of engagement from its users.  This seems a lot like the Twitter suggested user list, but that could just be me.  They had trouble, and I suspect Facebook will face some of the same problems as this goes live.

What do you think about the new feature?
