This a great study about social networking and the relevance of the six degrees of separation. History tends to repeat itself, regardless of the technological advancements. I have recently been looking into the concept of weak ties. Studies have proven this idea to be extremely effective from a networking standpoint, especially when searching for new jobs. People tend to have less of a fear of asking someone they sort of know for a favor or connection, as opposed to asking a good friend. Attached is a Slideshare that digs into the mathematics of this concept. I also think that www.atthepool.com does a great job of helping people connect offline through the use of these weak ties. http://www.slideshare.net/maksim2042/10-strength-of-weak-ties http://www.slideshare.net/maksim2042/10-strength-of-weak-tie...
