that is fing scary
So in January, I hired a maid to do a deep cleaning of my place. Lo and behold, guess who Facebook suggests as a friend today to me?
Yes, Maid Green - the company I used. I don't know how they tracked that, and frankly, it's a bit terrifying. (We don't share any friends, I never published anything publicly about it... the only online mentions are a series of emails from Gmail and my credit card swiping).
I'm actually really curious how they connected me to her.

b/c i had the same weird feeling when i signed up for linked in... they knew that i knew this guy, who is a business acquaintence, and who is someone i've only ever corresponded with via my work email account. yet, i had signed up for linked in via my personal Gmail account....
i'm guessing that Linked In scraped his address book and matched via name, not email.
