Everybody is the friend of a friend
Something is really fascinating me on social networking websites like Facebook and since this is already the third time that it happens to me in only a few months, I had to write about it in this journal!
- Primary school friends and middle school friends know each other although I didn’t go to the middle school most of my primary school friends went to and my middle school is quite far away from my primary school.
- The friend of a friend I met in France is the friend of a friend I met in Japan (happened twice).
I’ve once been told that within a distance a 6 intermediate friends, everyone on Facebook is the friend of a friend. This is fascinating yet this sounds very plausible to me.
