IOW, anyone you email can become a suggested friend, because fb pulls that info from the addresses in your email account.
Maybe it works in reverse, too. Maybe if someone signs up, allows fb to search for people in their address book, it then makes the same suggestions on the other end as well?
Not sure...just surmising!

I don't think it works in reverse because I have never had my email searched either way...I believe each individual would ahve to initiate it. But, FB's database is very extensive when it comes to you accepting friends and the info you put in about yourself...it can take those simple facts and run a hundred miles in the networking business.
