I signed up for a Facebook account, on the grounds that all the cool kids have one, so if I get one that'll serve to drive down the average coolness of the cool kids, by association

Hee hee... I was about to add you, based on a mututal friend's recommendation, but won't if it offends your delicate sensibilities. Or perhaps I'll sacrifice you for a Whopper. :D

[faerieloch]

Yes, I was told by angyl, so I friended you. :)

For a long time I had an account under a fake name so that I could play Dungeons & Dragons Tiny Adventures without anyone knowing I was there. I eventually changed it to my real name and almost instantly had the same thing happen.

It's my fault. ;)

Yeah, what she said. It's her fault.

One of the semi-recent additions to Facebook is the ability, when you friend someone, to 'recommend' people who are already your 'friend' to that new friend. Which is what aaangyl did.

I think it goes off of email address plus name, and it also does it by friend-of-friend suggestions.

Most of what they do could be done by, say, LJ, as LJ has the info already.
