Six Degrees, or Something Like it
An Ever-Expanding
Circle.
One of these days I will be tooling
around the Internet and run across the blog of someone I know. It hasn't
happened yet, but it is probably inevitable. I am not talking about actively
looking for someone, but the cyber-equivalent of passing someone in a crowded
airport. You haven't seen them in years and it's rather surprising to run into
them here, but serendipity just works that way
sometimes.
I have been
thinking about this rather a lot lately, since a few new people have somehow
found me. I am not sure what the process was, who linked to whom and who
googled what, but it would be interesting to find out. It is nice to have
strange names pop up in the comment field, if a little disconcerting. The group
that regularly leaves comments has heretofore been a small one, and sometimes
you forget that you're not just talking to yourself or a tiny group of friends.
It is interesting to me to note my desire for reference points in a forum as
wide and deep as the Internet
is.
So welcome, new readers,
and if you're so inclined, introduce yourself!
