Six Degrees Of Wikipedia

The principle of degrees of separation is an old one. Basically, according to Wikipedia, Six degrees of separation is the theory that anyone on earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. Our next nomination has taken that principle and applied it to articles on Wikipedia itself.

Six Degrees Of Wikipedia allows you to see how many degrees of separation there are between one Wikipedia article and another, via individual pages. I'll be honest here, I'm not expecting this to revolutionize the web or anything major. However, I'm certain this will be a meme styled success in the coming months. Before too long you'll be seeing lists derived from the search on sites and blogs everywhere - proudly displaying the number of steps from the Goatse Man to Cottage Cheese.
