the question is why

 

This Facebook shit is scary. I had Donna show up as a recommended friend. Not that she's scary, but out of the thousands of Wilco fans on Facebook, she shows up.

 

I dont trust the interwebs

Donna probably shows up because you two have mutual friends. That's not scary, that's an algorithm.

Not possible that we have mutual friends...I only friend family and people I have known since I was a kid

 

And if it is because we both are fans of Wilco, why is she the only one?

 

Scary I tell ya, scary

Have you guys ever exchanged email directly? If so, and one of you (or a mutual friend who's been in contact with each of you) used the "friend finder" then that's how they inferred the connection.

 

I had a similar thing happen to me recently when FB suggested the mom of one of the kids on my son's soccer team. We have absolutely nothing in common, no mutual friends, nothing. All that connects us in the vitrtural world is that we've both been on the same soccer team-related email list. I figure that someone along the way (i.e. one of the other parents) gave FB access to their address book and since we showed up together, a "friendship" was made.
