Bloggers linked in 4 handshakes

I stumbled upon a study of the social network toodoo, which analyzed the connections between bloggers. The key thought is that every active blogger can be reached through 4 handshakes. Who are interested in the details - read the link .

The study itself is a reference to the theory of six handshakes, which Stanley Milgram invented in the 1970s. I was interested to learn more about the theory itself. After spending an hour of time googling and questions to Yandex, I found some mass references on the topic I want to share. It seems to me that the work of Mr. Milgram is of great importance in the theory of social networks.

1. Actually, I advise you to read about the theory of the “six degrees of remoteness” on Wikipedia . It turns out that this scientific work even laid the basis for the play. By the way, the article in Russian is very poor.

2. On Habré, it turns out, there was already a large-scale discussion of this theory itself. That time it was about confirming the theory that the guys from Microsoft carried out on the basis of data on messages in MSN. toodoo, by the way, also refers to this confirmation. But about the aforementioned study of the O2 operator information, I never found

3. Article about Milgram himself.

4. "Membrane" is one of the first in Runet to write about the same Microsoft research.

5. Interesting experiments on the verification of the theory, made by a curious user of LJ. Just fun.

6. RB.ru publishes the most complete report on the aforementioned Microsoft study.

7. Social network 7ruk.ru. Suddenly I found out that it is open for free registration. The network is built on the theory of 6 handshakes (in which 7 hands are involved).

I will say thanks to everyone who gives more links on the topic.
