Facebook also does this, for example by analyzing which pictures you and a friend are both tagged in. Probably there are other signals like wall posts, likes, and profile views.

You can see the result of this by the order of friends in the search box.

But Facebook doesn't expose this anyway. Google has at least shown signs that it has or will use this data (I'm thinking of the 'Did you mean Dave' or 'Did you forget Dave' feature in Gmail). Thats where the really cool stuff can happen. Especially if they let you auto-add people to Circles.
