The most unusual friend suggestion I have received is a profile for the actor Steve Martin. It had two mutual friends, and appeared 20 minutes after a friend asked me "Have you ever listened to Steve Martin? The actor? He's also a bluegrass musician" and played a couple of songs on Spotify.

Any ideas on how that came about? It's hard to believe it's anything other than some app listening to audio.

Spotify was running on my friend's desktop. I have no FB apps installed other than Instagram. I do not believe I had Spotify installed on my phone at the time, though in the past, I have, and logged in through Facebook.
