Facebook, why you so creepy?

I’m always shocked when Facebook shows me people I actually know as possible friends.  I almost never use the site and when I do it’s to get someone’s e-mail address so I can e-mail them directly.  Somehow they populate that list with people I rarely speak to and have zero public connections to.  I mean, I don’t even know of these people through anyone else, so I don’t get how they’re able to suggest them.

Shudder.

Facebook, why are you so damned creepy?

It seems every time I visit a website it already knows my name.

When I walk into a favorite lunch hang out and I’m greeted by name, that’s nice.

When I walk into a store I’ve never been in before and they greet me by name and drop the names of a few friends…  well, I get a creepy icky feeling and want to leave.
