Pros: Beneficial to Social Development (learning how to get along with people you don't know and don't care to know) Cons: Email Overload
"It's not what you know, it's who you know," a former yuppie boss used to tell me repeatedly. He was a passionate believer in the good ol' boy system and wanted to share his insight with me.
Pros: You can network yourself with the WHOLE WORLD! Cons: Poorly organized, horrible web site, the WHOLE WORLD isn't and shouldn't be using it
Ever played Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? You know, the one where you connect any actor to Kevin Bacon by shared films, blah blah blah....I admit, it used to be a favorite game of my friends and I during long and boring high school classes.
Pros: great concept Cons: community is in the gutter
My first year in college, I lived in the Freshman dorm. Freshman are notorious for eagerly following along with whatever they think everyone else is doing. Advertisers know that, which is probably why the hallway in my dorm were covered with flyers and...
Pros: At least it's moderately fun to use Cons: "Service" a front for spam mail listserv assembly, Good only as a Novelty
When a viruses such as "Melisa" and "I Love You" spread an exponential amount of e-mail, we call them a nuisance. Thus, sites like Sixdegrees.com can be viewed as a similar form of nuisance, and much like the...
Good Day. I am writing this review on a website that is wonderful. It is http://www.thecouponclippers.com. This site have been around for maybe a year. People need to know more about this site.
My theory is this: When a coupon is great you may...
Pros: A few minutes of thinking, "wow, I'm connected to all these people!" Cons: The realization that all these people were conned into joining, just like you.
The concept is an interesting one - you're connected to millions of people within six degrees or less (or, more grammatically, six degrees or fewer...). In a perfect world, this would create a sort of worldwide community of people with whom you would...
Pros: Served its Purpose Cons: Boring, Mixed Up Jumble of Junk
How I found Sixdegrees; or rather, how it found me!
For about a year, I got occassional emails from sixdegrees telling me that someone had listed me as "other family member" in their degrees and did I want to join and/or accept this...
Pros: neat idea of you think you'll use it Cons: can't ever get off their distribution list
My freshman year in college all of my friends and I became email and internet junkies. My roommate and I competed each day to see who would get more emails. Part of this exciting process was getting the millions and millions of forwards that are out...
Pros: none Cons: a huge source of aggravation and irritation
When a friend sent me an e-mail to be listed as a contact for his Six Degrees I must admit it was interesting....for about 30 minutes. As soon as I signed up I had about 6 e-mails with messages from people I have never heard of and when I looked...
According to theory, everyone in this world is connected to everyone else in this world by no more than six relationships. In other words, someone I know (degree 1) knows someone (degree 2) who knows someone (degree 3) who ... well you get the idea....
Pros: Helpful information, good employee responsiveness Cons: Bugs in the site, promised updates not forthcoming
The concept of the SixDegrees site/service is that everyone in the world (with e-mail, at least) is connected to everyone else by six degrees. For example, it is likely that you know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who...
So I was a freshman. I was naive. I somehow came across the six degrees website one day when I probably should have been studying for an exam and I thought "Wow cool! I can find how I am connected to all kinds of different people." I am...
Pros: Meet New People & Share Ideas and Advice Cons: Lot's of e-mail if you don't edit your account
The basis for this is that all people are separated by a series of degrees, and oddly I'm finding this to be true. I've met new people through this service who either know personally or through 6D people I know.
Pros: Interesting idea Cons: You get too many emails and it's a nuisance
I admit when I first heard of this Six Degrees website I thought it was a very cool concept and all in all I guess it is. So I signed up and several of my friends signed up and we got a bunch of our friends to sign up who in turn got their friends to...
