Default Big Brother absolutely IS watching you!

I don't know how many of you here used Linkedin, but I'd guess a fair few.
I've only ever had an absolutely minimal presence for a business I've long retired from and it's identity is totally separate from my social and domestic life, or so I thought.

Yet I keep getting suggested contacts that have a uncannily high proportion of people I know, though aren't close/regular friends.

Today Tintin's happy smiling face popped up. I've seen a few others from here in the past.

Whatever algorithms and data sources Linkedin use they're pretty canny!
