"Friend Pool" - READ DESCRIPTION...

Hey,

So I've had an idea for a while - basically a more advanced version of the "Friends In Common" feature.

My idea is basically to be able to cross-reference a group of your friends and see what friends they have in common.

To explain it simply, you'd be able to chose a handful of people you are friends with, and create a "Friend Pool" out of their friends - which would be a list of people who they are all friends with.

This would be incredibly helpful in finding old friends. For example, lets say you went to a summer camp when you were younger. You're facebook friends with some of your bunkmates, but you can't remember the names of the rest of them or other people you guys used to hang out with together.

You could chose those people for a Friend Pool, and then you'd see what people they had in common as friends - which would most likely be your other campmates.

I don't think this feature would invade privacy in any manner more-so than is already done - as you can already see the friends that your friends have. You could do this manually by looking at each of your friends' friend lists - so this just takes the time out of it and allows you to find your friends quickly and efficiently.

There is a similar feature currently active which suggest possible friends for you as people that you have common friends with. However, this lets you chose a group of specific people, allowing you to easily find campmates or other people like that.

Please let me know if you like the idea, and give it a vote here!
