How does Facebook get its info?

I recently signed up for F.B. (reluctantly) for class reunion purposes, and thought it was pretty limited. You have to log-in, strange format, it couldn't find either school page, then it automatically added it, and then the link disappeared.

I was shocked when the website asked for my email password for their "click though" option. Give them access to personal information? No way. There's enough (unfortunately legal) data-mining and lack of privacy out there.
Facebook: I don't know you, and I don't want to know you. We are not friends.

So I look at the "suggested friends" page, and listed is my mother-in-law, my realtor, and another co-owner at the condo.
How the heck do they get that stuff? Are they owned by Yahoo?
