Results are ordered based on a user’s relationships with his or her friends

So it’s not just the number of fans or users but also the strength of those connections that are important. ◦ For example, if a user searches for restaurants in a particular

city, those that are most popular with his/her closest friends will be displayed first. Additionally, results that are similar to a searcher’s existing likes and interests may be ranked higher.
