On my Linkedin profile, I only have connections to people I've worked with IRL, and I haven't added Twitter or Friendfeed to my list of websites, but L/I has stated suggesting contacts from both of those services; people like Kol, Louis G, AJ Batac, to name a few...
AJ Batac, Kol Tregaskes, rowlikeagirl and 2 other people liked this
Not that I have any objection to adding you, but *how* is Linkedin doing this without me giving any info about those services? Is it doing some cool matching based on my location (which I've specified on both Twitter and Linkedin) and/or conversation threads?

Those get a bit creepy... soon you'll find new relatives that way. "By the way, you have a brother you have never met. Connect with him now."

facebook does the same thing. they seem to suggest people who I have removed from my address book, but the suggested person has me in their address book.
- Mike Nencetti
Jemm - one of the suggestions was my (actual) brother!! We haven't spoken for a while, but it's creeping me out that I've now got my Mum *and* Linkedin telling me I should connect with my brother!!
- Andrew Terry
Heh. And Facebooks suggests giving gifts on birthdays etc. Maybe everything should be just automated, so that time could be spared for other tasks than paying attention people ;)
- Jemm
Interesting, I saw you were suggested and just requested to add you, Andrew. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol - just saw the notification. Added you back!
- Andrew Terry
Cool. :-)

Twitter/Facebook & LinkedIn? NEVER shall these strangers meet.
