You rank applicants to the visa program by Erdos numbers? Is this the same Erdos number as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s_number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s_number? Or do you rank investors?
In either case, you're ranking people based on WHO they know, not what they know. Worst kind of ranking possible (it keeps competent outsiders out).
- pg 18y agoIt's the investors who'd be ranked by Ronco numbers, not the visa applicants. And even there it wouldn't be based on anyone knowing anyone. If you invest in a startup that Ron Conway later invests in, you have a Ronco number of 1, whether he likes it or not.
