I honestly don't understand a lot of it once it gets into the math/stats. I just know the mechanics of it from pitches I've participated in. They can figure out that X number of people are connected within N degrees of someone on your e-mail address book, and then construe that to figure things out. It's not who they know you know. It's who they know the people you've already said know or probably know. And it goes even further than that.
The fun thing about a lot of it is, until the sites like FB and such really got going, most people involved didn't even really realize it was going to happen.
