Freaked out by Facebook

Just got freaked out by Facebook, setting up a new account for my wife's bellydancing persona http://www.nylabellydance.co.uk.
After creating the login for the first time (not using her normal email and using her bellydance name) FB produced about 40 people that might know her bellydance persona and she knew 75% of them. Naturally I started thinking how did Facebook do this, especially as they were not all bellydance related contacts, freaky.
Only conclusion I can come to at present is that the surname I used was Bellydance anf FB looked for people with a bellydance or Nyla connection.

Not really got into the habit of blogging yet, as you can see my last post was a while ago.
Couple of nice applications I have come across recently are firstly Fever http://www.feedafever.com, this is a fantastic RSS\Atom aggregator, I like it so much I brought a second licence for it.
The other application is Wisestamp http://www.wisestamp.com for automatically inserting signature in web email clients such as Gmail. One of the great features is that you can add social profiles such as Blogger, Twitter & Facebook etc and display their funky icons.
