SixDegrees was one of the early ConnectionBuildingNetworks. It offered a way to:
-
Meet new people
-
Get advice
-
Find lost contacts
-
Chat
-
See the paths of real-life relationships that connect to every other member
Some people saw it as just another form of spam, especially as more of an effort was made to profit from the connections.
It existed for nearly four years (?1997 - 2000?) and grew to over 3,000,000 members in 165 countries before AndrewWeinreich sold it. 132123123
