Amazing what the internet and social media has done. It has proven what we always suspected, that tracing the web of a friend of a friend leads all over the world. The 2nd hand acquaintances of the 18 people I currently have as friends on FB reach to Europe and Brisbane, Australia. I didn't count the list of names of those that I could "friend", but it was quite long.
The other thing that it has demonstrated is that different branches of friends do occasionally intersect. With my list it has not been a "round-the-world", improbable intersection however. Two branches of my friends, both local, crossed each other in two persons. I'm sure real FB afficionados have more amazing tales to tell.
