 At least on Facebook...

 Scientists figure out "six dgrees of separation" more like 4.74 on Facebook

At the rate technology is improving, I'm pretty sure that within a hundred years or so we're all going to be Kevin Bacon. Tongue Out

Meh, Facebook friends are nowhere near enough a measure for this.  Facebook encourages friending for gameplay.  Therefore, a lot of 'friends' aren't friends at all.  They don't talk, have never met and likely don't know anything about each other aside from 'friending them helped me in Game x'.  A friend of mine, for example, has over 3k friends.  How many do you think he actually knows?  This study needs work.
