There was a <a href="http://mjh4.blogspot.com/2009/03/100-hip-hop-and-what-does-linked-in.html" rel="nofollow">situation</a> like this in my own life a few months ago where I couldn't figure out how LinkedIn found out about a person.
To be honest, I give Facebook about a 50% chance of being a front for a three-letter agency. Even if it wasn't originally started up as one, I wouldn't be surprised if that's how they are getting some of their funding now.I think LinkedIn is doing roughly the same thing.
