I wonder if there is an open WiFi access point in the vicinity. I noticed that I had several coworkers suggested as friends shortly after I connected my phone to the office WiFi.

It makes sense that people using the same access point or connecting to Facebook from the same external IP would likely know each other.




It's quite an assumption that they would want to 'friend' each other on facebook or even be presented with another's facebook profile.


Sure, I'm just tossing out another hypothesis beyond tracking locations or everyone importing their contact lists containing the doctor.
