Mashable (Facebook): How Do You Know?
I regularly click through to Mashable's informative postings and noticed that a good friend of mine, Cheryl, appears in the Facebook window nearly every time. Indeed, since I started keeping track a month ago, Cheryl's photo has graced the FB panel EVERY time, with only one exception.
You may remember, Cheryl is the one who garnered national coverage when her photo unexpectedly appeared in a Seeking Single's ad on her husband's Facebook profile, stoking Facebook's privacy flare-up.
Not that I mind seeing Cheryl so frequently, but still I wonder how Mashable's fan panel knows that Cheryl and I know each other on FB. Seems there might be a lingering link in a backroom server somewhere not included in Facebook's *white hat* privacy options resolution.
Anyone else experiencing this?
See you around, Cheryl ...
[Updated: Soon after this post, Cheryl disappeared from Mashable's Facebook window.]

I'm guessing @mashable has complex algorithms and listening ears. :)
