Sixdegrees: Six degrees to spam

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 22:01:26 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kellogg5 - I signed up about a year ago to sixdegrees because it was different and interesting.

What people need to realize is you have to sucker your friends into signing up to even make the site work for you. Unfortunately most are not so willing to...

Sixdegrees: Love the Concept, but.....

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 15:25:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author naphtalia - 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...

Sixdegrees: I dont even know these people

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 10:30:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twhite101 - Six degrees is a truly fascinating site and how they get to work I will never know.

The site itself is built around specific message boards talking about thousands of topics. In addition all the members are somehow connected to one another...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author parkavery - Almost two years ago, a friend of mine signed up for Six Degrees. She immediately gave them my email, and they sent me a generic letter asking me to join and "connect" with my friends. Of course, wondering why I'd need to use a website as an...

Sixdegrees: 6° sounds pretty cold to me

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 09:49:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bigsteve - ... and by looking through the website, it really doesn't get much warmer than that. The concept behind this site is the age-old Philadelphia game of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (now famous nationwide). So, apparently, everyone is the world is connected...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Jennifer1979 - My first year in college, I lived in the Freshman dorm.

Sixdegrees: SixDegrees= Do-it-yourself Spam lists

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 01:20:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author JGillespie - 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...

Sixdegrees: A decent community

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 19:23:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lilly1979 - I have been to a lot of sites that bring people together. Most of them I have enjoyed. The concept behind sixdegrees is a bit different. The concept is to get people that you know and see how you are connected via association with other people. This...

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 04:15:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dawn121 - 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...

Sixdegrees: Sixdegrees of Useless (Almost!) Information

Mon, 22 May 2000 17:26:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JennJoy - 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...

Thu, 18 May 2000 04:35:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author clicker - "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.

According to the theory that's the...

Sixdegrees: Pilot error, not spam.

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 16:58:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jzp-epinions - I've been happily participating in sixdegrees long enough to see its design get overhauled twice. They do not, and have never, spammed.

A lot of sites have poor defaults; unfortunately, the sixdegrees default for bulletin board postings is...

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 08:19:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chatac - 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...

Sixdegrees: No thanks....

Sat, 18 Mar 2000 22:02:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pgsahm - I have joined sixdegrees.com because I thought it was a great concept. You sign up and recruit friends, and build a web of who you know based on those friends. Well, frankly, it isn't worth it. I am not really interested in what the friends of my...

Sixdegrees: sixdegrees of junk e-mails

Mon, 21 Feb 2000 21:33:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author katarria - OK, I would like to say that sixdegrees.com is probably one of the most wasteful websites I have subscribed to. It all began 3 years ago, when I received an e-mail "inviting" me to join. Usually invitations only come once, but amazingly, this...

Sun, 6 Feb 2000 14:05:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author buckie1961 - I joined Six Degrees a little over 2 years ago. I thought, wow, being able to find people you know on the internet simply by being part of a huge ring, so to speak.

At least that was the idea! The theory is that everybody is related to, or...

Sixdegrees: If you want to meet people

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 19:50:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bookworm33 - Six Degrees is a great way to meet people. I have read an opinion that you get a lot of unwanted email. To me, that is what this place is for. To try to get you to join groups or try to tell you something that you might be interested in. I only...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CindyMC528 - Six degrees is a fun place to visit to meet interesting people. Back when i joined (because a friend had emailed me asking if I would be on their 1st degree list) it didnt seem like much. But recently, when i have gone, I see that it now has a lot more...

Sixdegrees: It's fun but time consuming

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 09:35:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KPetzold - 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.

With in this web site you...

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 16:08:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kat1234 - As many other reviewers have already mentioned, I originally played along with SixDegrees to be a good sport. A received a notice that I was someone's friend or acquaintance or some other and responded to it. I even visited the site a few times during...

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 18:30:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author prattguy - If you're looking for a way to find out how you relate to those around you, six degrees definitely provides that. However, what you may end up with is 6 degrees of headaches from pointless e-mails.

Now, I agree that the purpose of the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author embler - Sixdegrees of separation is a web site that is supposed to connect people all over the world through people they are friends with or are at least acquainted with. In reality people on sixdegrees try to list as many contacts that they can without even...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kayters - 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...
