I just had Facebook suggest someone I haven't seen in years, who I don't have their contact info for as a friend. I'm thrilled that it knew, but it's a bit creepy.

I really want to understand the Facebook friend recommendation process.

I have a few theories:

It remembers who came up when you search by email (this I'm pretty sure since people in my contact list show up as recommendations after I log out)

It remembers who you searched for and recommends the searcher to the searchee.

It's really HAL

Anyone else have a better understanding or theories? It really is a bit creepy how it can suggest random people you know.
