It appears that they use gmail and/or gtalk data (frequency?) as input factors; as some of my top scored friends I chat/mail with frequently but are yet not on Google+.

The annoying thing about this is that I was forced to sign up to G+ using a GMail account that I don't use for anything except Picasa. I use my Google Apps account for everything else (email, chat, contacts, etc.), but G+ doesn't support GApps accounts yet...

So the end result is that G+ really has no idea how to rank my relationships with my friends.
