I liked Marc Canter’s observation that anything beyond 1 degree if separation is just that – separated.
However, I finally gave in and signed up to Friendster a while back, my tactic being to assume that by choosing one person who is a consumate networker, I would now have a PDNA a Personal Digital Networking Assistant and wouldn’t have to do anything (except be like those selfish peer-to-peer software users who never share anything).
My Friendster account now says “You are connected to 12729 people in your Personal Network, through 1 friend.” – Hilarious.
Can anyone guess the identity of my PDNA?
