Everybody sing!
May. 3rd, 2004 12:47 amSo after a party last night where once again ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ginkgo and I ran into friends that we had *NO IDEA* knew the hostess, we decided tonight to make a chart.
In the grand tradition of the UWBB Boink Chart, we used Omnigroup's OmniGraffle. We added folks we know, how everyone met each other, current relationships, who *knows* who (a graph we elided ourselves from, since by default we know everyone on the chart), etc. It certainly doesn't have everybody we know on it, but it's the 50 people we think were most central to friends groups we know, here and in Seattle.
AFTER extracting ourselves from the 'who knows who' graph, guess how many graphs there are of connected folks?
One.
50 people, four cities, three universities, two coasts, and one graph.
Which means we have *NO* groups of friends that don't somehow, *independent of us*, connect to everyone else. Nobody left connected on the graph was introduced *by* us.
It's quite the diagram.
So everybody together now... "It's a small world, after all..."
