Why did all of my Fluther friends pick TODAY to make me a Facebook friend as well?

OK, I have maybe 50 or so Facebook friends total, or had before today…mostly close friends and a lot of people from my high school class, and I think 2, maybe 3 Fluther friends who have befriended me on Facebook. And I say, the more the merrier.

But I did not see any discussions about Facebook on Fluther in the past 24 hours, I did not discuss it with anyone, I didn’t PM anyone or get any PMs. And I just don’t spend a lot of time there so I don’t go out searching out people on Facebook.

So it was a big surprise, a pleasant one yes, but wholly unexpected and seemingly out of the blue when one by one TWELVE different Fluther friends sent me friend requests on Facebook today. I’m as pleased and flattered as I am confused, don’t get me wrong, just wondering if it’s a coincidence, maybe someone from here I recently befriended had already befriended a bunch of other Flutherites, or maybe one person went on a Friend Request spree today and once they befriended that person they saw me? Or maybe there was some sort of “let’s all find each other on Facebook” discussion I missed out on.

So, what do y’all make of this? Anyone who sent me a request want to say what led to it, or anyone want to venture a guess? Anyway, I guess I should add, my name there is pretty obvious, if you want to look me up, I’ll be more than happy to accept even more requests. I’m just fascinated with coincidence and it seemed really strange by the time I had about 4 or 5 in the same day.
