Not entirely sure...
but have you sent Angel emails from that account? I believe LinkedIn looks at your contacts with permission and recommends folks. There are also some pretty sophisticated social networking models that companies like these use. LinkedIn, for example, suggested a secretary at a client of mine from 3 years prior whom I never exchanged emails with and had no other links for in my profile.
If you are really interested there are some great books on the subject of analytics that touch on some social media stuff. Competing on Analytics is decent and SuperCrunchers is quite good.
