As I understand it, the current groupthink is that knowing connections between people is ad-sales-gold, because supposedly, you will run right out and buy the same crap your friends just bought, if they tell you about it on some social network.
I think Facebook is going to be DotComBubble II. Not that I'm rooting for that. Just a gut feeling.
BTW, another friend had a problem like you did. He speculated that it might have been connected to his having a bilingual keyboard. This seems unlikely to me, but just out of curiosity: are (or were) you using something other than a standard US keyboard?
