The high-five thing started completely from the bottom up, by Russell Jurney (rjurney here and on Twitter). Jeff was over in analytics area (on an unrelated matter, iirc) and happened to step into an impromptu-created high-five zone and has adopted it.
The atmosphere surprised me as well (given the fact LinkedIn's a professional network) when I first interviewed and later joined. Another fun thing I noticed, check out the company guid for LinkedIn:
