About a month ago, Google started showing me info here and there referring to people I follow on Twitter. I didn't understand at the time and still don't know how they matched up my Google account to my Twitter account.
The Facebook request details you're quoting are not unusual.

- code_duck 15y agoI didn't even have a Google profile until three days ago. I hadn't entered my full name, had not used the gmail to sign up for anything, have only exchanged 2 emails.

Even if you didn't share your Twitter username with Google, I suppose that if someone on your contacts list shared their Twitter username, Google would be able to make the connection.
- gojomo 15y agoAt one point, I'm pretty sure Google asked me if my Twitter account was me. That is, they inferred it, based on some number of available signals.
