That 6 degrees of separation.

I was just looking through my FB page for the first time in a while and it was amazing that the people I know know so many other famous and infamous people. Connections fromo Bill Moyers to Billy Gibbons and 60's hard core radicals.

1. Feels good, don't it?

Welcone to my world.

2. It doesn't mean they know them personally.

Some people, including well-known people, accept lots of FB friend requests. I have some FB friends who I don't really know personally. I also have a lot of FB friends who have famous FB friends; I know that some of them are folks that they know personally but I don't think they all are.

3. In these cases I'm pretty sure.

since I know the people in the links quite well.

4. That's cool.

I've never been one of those people who knew everyone, though I often wished I was, but I've always known people who know people. I used to think about the six degrees of separation thing, and I found that there were a lot of folks who I wasn't that many degrees away from.
