what is so irritating about the six-degrees of separation concept?
it's the fact that you happen to be connected to everyone in a span of six-degrees. it means you are connected to the billions and trillions of entities living on this planet. it means there's really no room to be a hermit. and it proves that gossip spreads faster than the bird flu or the SARS because of the fucking six-degrees of separation.

a friend sent me a message saying she found an ex of hers on friendster. was that supposed to shock me? everyone is on friendster. everyone, including people you don't exactly wish to get connected with.
granted that you're the type who burns bridges and never builds them back, you would not want to re-acquaint yourself with certain beings who happens to be poor excuses for humans. when six-degrees works its magic, you just end up finding yourself face-to-face with the profile of a person you don't want to see. and viola! he/she is actually conected to you within six-degrees. oh. holy. fuck.
that, dearest, is the reason why i'm wondering if sites like friendster, myspace, and ringo, actually helps or just plain pisses you off.
