Two Degrees of Separation

I love the blogosphere.

I've read a bunch of books on six degrees of seperation. I'm fascinated by the fact that only six relationships seperate us from everyone in the world. I think there are only two degrees of separation in the blogosphere.

I just bumped into Terry Crist, pastor of CITICHURCH in Scottsdale, AZ, at C3.

He came up and introduced himself. He's spent some time in the evosphere. It was so cool to hear his story and the way God is blessing CitiChurch. Long story short, I would never know or met people like Terry if it weren't for the blogosphere. The blogosphere has shrunk the world.

There are only two degrees of seperataion in the blogosphere.

I think I would argue that it's about 3 degrees, but getting smaller all the time. Especially if you know a "connector" or two :)

Agree about the shrinking of the world... technology and travel accessibility make this a fascinating time in which to live.

I would agree with if being easier if you use three degree of separation, but if you have the right "connectors" it is amazing to see how many people you will bump into with only 2 degrees.

Yeah this is true. I found this blog through some guy who hit mine, then I hit his then found a link on his that had a link here. (Sheeesh!!!) I sometimes feel like I'm on a treasure hunt. And I think I found a nugget! Great site!

In the past 12 months I've read everything author Andy Stanley has published. The man can communicate. Mark Batterson of theatrechurch.com has awakened me to new ways to get the Gospel message into the hands of people. And Ed Young Jr. of Fellowship Church challenges me every time he opens his mouth. Thanks fellas for teaching this old dog some new tricks. http://www.fishrapper.typepad.com/ministry
