Im surprised there isn’t an app on facebook to test this theory, it must be quite easy to implement.

Interesting idea Joseph, but I wonder whether technology changes the fact that some people are naturally inclined to network while others aren’t. Perhaps social networking tools simply help the world’s networkers connect across borders, rather than get everybody connected? It’s also worth pondering whether or not those networks are very strong. For example, my cousin lives in Chicago. He has people in his network that I’ve never met, but that I hear about from time-to-time via Facebook. I don’t consider that I’m connected to those people, though I suppose I could ask for an introduction and get connected if I wished to do so. Hmmm…perhaps you’re right!

Thanks to modern online networking tools, I think we’re now far more connected than we’ve ever been. I bet the 6 degrees is now absolutely true, even though it wasn’t in the 60s.
