That's cool how you and your sister commented your way to the same destination from different starting points. How many steps did it take for you to meet up at the same blog?</p>Mark DykemanFri, 05 Sep 2008 05:45:16 -0000Re: More on hyperconnectivity and six - or three - degrees of separationhttp://broadcasting-brain.com/2008/09/04/more-hyperconnectivity-six-degrees-of-separation/#comment-2140761<p>My sister and I started uber-commenting on blogs recently and we ended up in the same community but we came at it from completely different blogs and without any discussion of how we were blogging/looking for blog to comment on.</p><p>So, yeah, the world is getting smaller, for sure.</p>Alex Fayle | Someday SyndromeFri, 05 Sep 2008 04:10:48 -0000Re: More on hyperconnectivity and six - or three - degrees of separationhttp://broadcasting-brain.com/2008/09/04/more-hyperconnectivity-six-degrees-of-separation/#comment-2126307<p>I think social networking and the like can make it easier to contact people (and hopefully get a response) than in previous decades. Will that actually make people any closer? Dunno yet.</p>Mark DykemanThu, 04 Sep 2008 18:12:52 -0000Re: More on hyperconnectivity and six - or three - degrees of separationhttp://broadcasting-brain.com/2008/09/04/more-hyperconnectivity-six-degrees-of-separation/#comment-2125348<p>Hi Mark, it's an interesting concept. I wonder if social networking can half those degrees of seperation? and I'm not so sure. I guess we get to connect with more people but that doesn't really bring us closer to folk we were six degrees away from before. But I do think it enables to connect with them quicker - eg in terms of passing on a marketing message etc.</p>cathlawsonThu, 04 Sep 2008 17:36:02 -0000Re: More on hyperconnectivity and six - or three - degrees of separationhttp://broadcasting-brain.com/2008/09/04/more-hyperconnectivity-six-degrees-of-separation/#comment-2113598<p>I can believe it. I think weak links (or initially weak links) provide ways for us to transcend our current social networks.</p>Mark DykemanThu, 04 Sep 2008 15:50:33 -0000Re: More on hyperconnectivity and six - or three - degrees of separationhttp://broadcasting-brain.com/2008/09/04/more-hyperconnectivity-six-degrees-of-separation/#comment-2107483<p>Haven't tried to trace myself to Kevin Bacon...</p>Mark DykemanThu, 04 Sep 2008 11:41:55 -0000Re: More on hyperconnectivity and six - or three - degrees of separationhttp://broadcasting-brain.com/2008/09/04/more-hyperconnectivity-six-degrees-of-separation/#comment-2105840<p>Do you know Kevin Bacon? I still can't link myself to him...</p><p>I think that is an interesting concept that you can link within 3 degrees if you search within your hobbies. Interested in seeing the numbers.</p><p></p>Jim GaudetThu, 04 Sep 2008 10:42:17 -0000
