Yahoo pulse shows activity of people I don't know on the home page?

[CDB]

And suggests connections of people that I don't know. Why is that? Where is it getting these ideas?
The problem is that I'm getting updates from people that I did not request updates from. I have no idea who these people are or why I'm getting the updates. I can't remove them and stop getting their frigging updates.

Yahoo! Pulse, previously Yahoo!
Profiles, is a service offered by Yahoo!that allows you to link popular social network websites such as Facebook and Twitter with your Yahoo! account. Using the Yahoo! Pulse dashboard you can update your Facebook status, post a Tweet to your Twitter account or connect with other friends that are also using Yahoo!Pulse. If you've created a Yahoo!Pulse account but don't like it, you can disable it. Although Yahoo! does not allow you to delete your Yahoo! Pulse account, you can hide yourprofile, effectively removing the ability
for anyone to contact you through
Yahoo! Pulse.
