Stakeholder identification is important activity in requirements engineering. Stakeholder identification and prioritization is equally difficult as gathering the requirements from the users in the software development life cycle. After identifying the stakeholders, they need to be prioritized according to the impact they have on the system. StakeRare is a method that uses social networks and collaborative filtering to identify and prioritize requirements in software projects. Stake Rare uses Page Ranking method to identify stakeholders and asks them to recommend other stakeholders and stakeholder roles. Then a social network is built with stakeholders as nodes and their recommendations as links, and prioritizes stakeholders using a variety of social measures to determine their project influence. In this paper a new method is proposed, Stakefinder which is an improved version of Stake Rare using a new measure called recurrence value which will be used to finalize and prioritize the stakeholders. Recurrence value of a stakeholder is nothing but the number of times a stakeholder is recommended by others. That is, if you are a stakeholder you can recommend other stakeholders whom you think are important for the project.
