Six Degrees of Separation (SDoS)

Hi All,

Welcome to another monday morning edition of the reference blog. The term, 'Six Degrees of Separation' appeared twice in the newspaper that I was reading this weekend. And, as is my wont, I thought of the blog. 'Would this be a good blog topic, I thought?' Would it be interesting enough?

Indeed, after doing just a big of internet research, I thought, that yes, it would make for an interesting - if light - blog entry. And here we are!

What does the phrase 'Six Degrees of Separation' mean? Click here for a summary of SDoS (Six Degrees of Separation) - from Wikipedia of course.

Click here for a link to 'Find the Bacon' - a site that helps users find the connectiosn between the actors ad the movies they have played in.

Click here for a bit of mathematical reasoning behind the SDoS.

Finally - and this might very well be the most fun you can have with SDoS - click here for the link to the Oracle of Bacon where you can put in any actor (or actresses') name to see how many degrees of separation there is between Kevin and your chosen actor...

Enjoy
