Information
Trust leads to information. Not your name and address, but the relevant personal information which enables your closest friends to make extremely accurate and relevant recommendations and suggestions.
Why it matters
As seen in the article about trust, this information is used to recommend:
Who you meet
Who you hire
Who you invest in
Who invests in you
What activities you do
The coffee you drink
Bank you use
Car you drive
Products you try

Connecting people
When you connect two people who you know well, why do you connect them?
There might be a practical reason, for example, one is an early-stage founder building in the financial b2b space and the other is an exited founder in that same space looking to make angel investments.
But the best connections have another component. There's a feeling you have of "you two should definitely meet".
You know they're going to hit it off.
After the meeting, your hypothesis is confirmed, and they hit it off.
The feeling of you two should definitely meet is created by considering everything you know about both parties. You do it in an instant. It feels natural and obvious. But under the hood, you're making connections between millions of data points.
