Find Satoshi and The Six Degrees of Separation








Find Satoshi – is an online experiment for testing the theory of Six degrees of separation.
The experiment is organized by Mind Candy – a UK based gaming company.
They put out a photograph of a man, a name, and the Japanese characters that translate to "Find me".

The theory of Six degrees of separation refers to the fact that between you and anyone else on Earth there is an average of 5 people network. You know someone who knows someone, who knows someone, and so on - the person you are looking to find being the 6th in this chain.

Social networks like LinkedIn or Facebook are based on this theory.

I guess living in Japan it would give me a better chance to find Satoshi – Maybe running into him during the rush-hours at Shinjuku stations? Almost impossible!
Yet, Satoshi seems to be real and someone out there knows him.

Do you know Satoshi?

Satoshi, if you read this, send me a note and lets have a beer someday. My treat.
