What is Six Degrees of Separation?
The ideas behind Six Degrees of Separation (SDS) are at the same time attributed to the writings and research study of numerous individuals; nevertheless, a considerable impact on the SDS concept is the "little world experiment" of American social psychologist Stanley Milgram. Milgram was studying (offline) social media networks of Americans and the "average course lengths" between people-- that is, how connected they were to each other. In a nutshell, he sent out packages to numerous people at random in Omaha, Nebraska and inquired to forward their bundle to a stock broker in Boston, Mass. by means of somebody else.
They were not expected to send their received package directly to the stockbroker, however rather to whomever they understood who was mainly most likely in their mind to be able to continue redirecting a package. (Milgram also performed other similar experiments, however in fact with the intent of studying anti-social habits.).
SDS suggests that any two people are linked to each other by at the majority of 6 steps or relationships. So if Individual A and G understand each other, they are one degree far from each other. If they have no idea each other, there are at a lot of five other individuals in between A and G, forming a chain of 6 actions, or relationships.
(E.g., A-B, B-C, C-D, D-E, E-F, F-G, where each letter represents an individual, and each hyphen represents a connection in between the 2 people specified.) The idea is that SDS gets everyone in the world, no matter how remotely situated they are or how far apart from each other, no matter how abundant or poor, well-known or unknown.
Other variations of SDS include 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon-- which says that he has actually either dealt with everybody in Hollywood or knows someone who knows someone who ... knows someone who has-- and the Erdos Number, which is a bit more intricate and describes a "collaborative distance" or expert family tree in between mathematician Paul Erdos and other coworkers in the field. There's even something referred to as the Erdos-- Bacon number, which is a crossway of the two concepts. There remain in reality researchers, actors and a couple of others who have a connection to both Kevin Bacon and Paul Erdos.
5 Tips for Finding Old Friends.
It's this concept of intersection-- gone over in the last section-- in between two seemingly disparate social circles that could be a strong aspect in assisting find someone you as soon as understood. It may be challenging to find that person if you don't their surname-- as in my colleague's situation-- but it is still possible.
What's more, when it comes to the online world and social networks, it might be easier than you believe. An analysis of 30 billion electronic discussions (instantaneous messenger, e-mail) among 240 million individuals by Microsoft [FTP link; PDF, 28 pgs] suggests that the concept of 6 Degrees of Separation can be shown with hard data, and that in some virtual social circles, we're even within as little as 3 degrees of connectedness online. (As an online author considering that 2005, I have actually observed the latter to be increasingly true for me, specifically among other authors.).
Now that's a reasonable little theory, above, though you don't have to do anything too complicated to discover someone, aside from trying to make the ideal good friend connections. The assumption here is that the person you're seeking is actually on Facebook.
The diagram listed below may assist you to picture how to expand your Facebook buddies network while seeking that lost good friend. At each stage, you are broadening your network by including "pals" at the next degree of connectedness. So you begin by "pal requesting" all individuals that you understand directly, particularly anyone whom you believe might understand the lost buddy, then add buddies of a pal (FOAFs), then good friends of FOAFs, and so on. The pointers are below the diagram.
1. Typical buddies. Who else do you know who knows the individual you're attempting to discover? Are you pals with them on Facebook? If there's more than one individual in typical because social circle, make a list and seek them out on Facebook. Keep broadening the list by taking note of other individuals less linked than the core group (which you can use in pointers # 2 and 3, listed below).
2. Ask FOAFs. A FOAF is a "mutual friend," and are therefore "2 degrees" away from you. I have actually reconnected with other individuals in the genuine world through FOAFs, and there's no reason this won't work on Facebook. Make a list of the FOAFs of the individual sought, if possible. If you do not know any, try finding the pal of a FOAF (3 degrees). This list might be all you require, especially with Facebook constantly including brand-new search features.
For example, one brand-new social search feature will display the names of individuals who are friends of buddies that match your search string. So if you begin typing, say, "Jo," the dropdown list that appears will return a list of Facebook users with "jo" anywhere in their name, and who are either currently your Facebook buddy or a mutual friend. Leverage this network in your search.
3. Crossway of social circles. Keep in mind that kid in high school who always seemed to make good friends among all the social inner circles? Find individuals like that as the next action in your connection path. Reconnect with them on Facebook, get reacquainted, then ask if they recall the person you're looking for. He or she may not know, but like the people in Stanley Milgram's experiment, they might understand someone who knows somebody.
4. Interests. Facebook has numerous countless Group and Fan Pages. If you have actually written up a "personal interests" profile of the person you're seeking, this may help you them via Page search. The brand-new social search feature mentioned in tip # 2 above provides an added bonus in the search engine result: the dropdown list likewise reveals Fan and Group Pages that match your search text, whether you are a member, or a friend or a FOAF is a member. So if you can remember your lost pal's favorite pastimes, that's another possible lead for discovering them.
If you both went to the exact same knowing organization, worked for the very same employer, or had some other location-based commonality, scan relevant Groups and Fan Pages that way. I discovered a couple of old high school acquaintances by inspecting all the various Facebook Groups for my school (there were numerous, despite being a reasonably little school). My find consisted of people whose names I 'd entirely forgotten but that I could still acknowledge from their primarily unchanged faces.
5. Examine other networks initially. Sometimes individuals have labels that you understand them by, however their Facebook profiles might have their real names. Or, you may know their real name but Facebook reveals numerous other individuals with the very same name, none of whom you recognize on first glimpse. I've often discovered individuals on Facebook by very first checking other social media networks such as Twitter, or on search engines, or in blog sites related to an interest they had.
In some cases those blog sites, or image sharing websites like Flickr, have old pictures that you may recognize. If you know that they absolutely have some sort of online presence, you may find them elsewhere, then discover a hint that leads to their Facebook profile. (There might even be a huge "Connect with me on Facebook" button.).
To wit, my now sister-in-law set up an unique interest Group on Facebook in 2008, then set about trying to find individuals in North America who shared the very same cultural background as she (and I) did. She had a list of names to go on, but often the kids in our community just knew each other by nicknames. So she wasn't constantly sure if she was getting in touch with the best individual.
She used a few of the above techniques, beginning with individuals she did understand, and built up the Group to almost 120 members, and reconnected to a few dozen more who are now her Facebook friends but not Group members. As a result, she's also mainly accountable for much of the reconnections via Facebook in our shared cultural community. While a number of us still do not see each other more than once a year (around July 4th), and some of us haven't seen each other for over 30 years, we are many of us reconnected at least on Facebook.
As an end outcome of all of my sister-in-law's Facebook friending efforts, I likewise reconnected with her sibling, after 12 years, and we wound up getting married. (Thanks, Facebook. And yes, geek that I am, my very first proposition WAS over Facebook chat. She said, "No," until I persisted. Let's simply state that some things you just can underestimate to through social media, and have to do in reality.).
