To recommend a friend a friend recommendation system is used. Recommending a friend to join a group and add a new friend is very complex. In this paper an attempt has been made to describe the friend recommendation techniques and methodologies efficiently. Work done by various researchers is presented and a cohesive approach for friend recommendation is proposed to recommend friends in Twitter and a comparison of the existing method with proposed algorithm is presented.
