Tell me about Twine
Twine is convenient, new, powerful, smart, and totally devoted to whatever you're interested in. Read all about it.
6 degrees is not *just* about how near or far apart we are (connection wise), but also about *how* the connection map is structured. An important part of how 6 degrees works, is the existence of 'hubs'. We have discussed connexions and trust, but the model may need to account for some 'nodes' having a lot more connexions than others. When using 'ring of trust' to [for example] surface information for our limited attention resource, those nodes with a lot connexions look to be [on average] more important than other connexions.
As a start, I think the item to add to the model, is the count of connexions. What I think will be really useful [if it can be extracted] is finding those links [connexions with connexions] that go far outside of the 'local' cluster, especially to hub nodes. A connexion to someone that has connexions [only] to all of the same people that you already have a direct connexion with is not as useful [wrong word?] for expanding your world as a connexion to someone that has connexions outside of your existing circle.
The local cluster, where almost everyone has a connexion to almost everyone else, are candiates for [some level] of friendship. Perhaps that can even be used to automatically [programatically] extract some trust and friendship related information. Or at least to 'surface' that information, as a place to start when manually [spending attention] populating friendship and trust information.
