With the ability to broadcast internationally immediately, and the 4.3 degrees of separation that they claim people now have in the modern world, its little wonder logically (although still pretty amazing that we've come this far) that the owner of the camera can be found. If 200 people see this post even, and there's only 4.3 degrees of separation between people, probably less with geographic and language concentration, then I'd almost be shocked if you couldn't find the owner.
Still, very very cool.
- citricsquid 15y agoI don't believe that's the case here. This specific instance speaks nothing of how "connected" everyone is, it shows that if you are notable (enough to warrant a mention somewhere online -- as this guy was and that's how he was found) then you can be located easily. If this guy had been anonymous and unknown I doubt we'd have seen the same result. This also has nothing to do with google+ beyond it being the platform for discussion used, the post could easily replace "google+" with any online discussion platform, hackernews for example.
- kgen 15y agoYeah, it's pretty ridiculous to see how often this proves to be true on the various social networks (especially reddit).
- coreyrecvlohe 15y agoRight on.
