Facebook to test 6 degrees of seperation

[Alex]

I have two experiences.

Until the last couple of years I generally tried to keep several groups of friends distinct from each other. So I had work friends, Disney friends, another message board friends, and preferred they not mingle.

But Facebook kind of brought those walls down to some degree.

This revealed:

A) I know now that a member here is friends with a couple I know from a completely different sphere (because that person comments on his Facebook posts).

B) It turns out that one of the MousePlanet people went to middle school with a person I know up here but they were the ones who realized the connection through seeing each other comment on my LJ posts.
