I gotta say, Facebook keeps freaking me out. It keeps making recommendations for whom I might want to befriend - and some of them are spooky.
Like I get how it would present you with someone that 11 of your friends have as a friend. I can fathom how that works.
But it keeps showing me people that I actually know and very well might be suitable friends - but I have no idea how Facebook knows that.
Like it's showing me Jenny right now. Facebook has no way of knowing she is my semi-sorta-girlfriend. She just started an account for professional reasons and then basically never touched it after the first day. There is no connection to me. But Facebook keeps presenting her to me.
It keeps showing me the wife of this friend of mine whom I see like once a year. It took me a minute to even clue in, oh yeah, that's Mark's Debbie. How does Facebook know?
Is it getting inside my computer and matching up e-mail addresses from my Outlook Express or something? I have no idea.
Spooky.
