The Small World Project

[Lucretia]

hey there friends from abroad,
please don´t wonder if you get an email from me /The Small World project where you are told to help me finding a target person

Obviously I was just bored and so I participated in this project, but actually I think its quite interesting:
http://smallworld.columbia.edu
in short, its just a project which tries to proof the theory that every person in the world is connected via "six degrees of separation"
so please try to help me if you get one of those mails
thx

Because I' bored to death right now, I've just signed up

I gave them this e-mail pablo_vm@hotmail.com and they have given me as a target a guy from Philippines who has never went out of that country. I don't have a clue about who knows something who has been in that country on holidays, or any kind of info about it

One question, Britta: let's suppose I send you an e-mail. Would you know if I would be comfortable lending money to you?

 

[Lucretia]

LOL
dunno if they tell the persons what you´ve clicked - but I guess I clicked "yes" all the time

I have to find a lady in the USA, btw
seems rather easy...
so I chose one more...
and this is a girl from Singapore who´s hobby is postcard collecting

 

[Lucretia]

and I won´t help you with your Philippine guy, I guess YOU have to think about who could be helpful in this case

Hey Luci!!!

I just did my part of the job

I guess this is not going to be so difficult. I sent an e-mail to a little friend of mine in the States. Let's see what happens.

I've already sent a message, and I've asked for another target. This is a girl from the states. Let's see what happens

By the way, I once saw a website which found the connection between any actor/actress of the world and Kevin Bacon, in less than 3 steps

no - until now I´ve sent the mails only to people who either live in the USA, have lived or been there or most likely know people over there. And I´m not ready yet with sending mails anyway

ah, thanks, cool!
It doesn´t say anything about if you´d lend me money, btw

Does it say something about why I chose you? I think I clicked on "religious affinities"

no, sorry - iut just says "Dear Britta Hackenberger ,

Pablo Villanueva has chosen you as the next link
in our Small World Experiment at Columbia University.

Here's a message from Pablo ....
