What is Zdarmanet
A shared address book system where members lists of contacts set up a global people network that helps you keep in touch with old friends.
Each Zdarmanet member owns a page made up of a personal profile but also of a list of contacts with friends and of a chat room. Everyone has a few contacts so the result is a complex network of friends that you can browse as you want. The curiosity is sometimes rewarded with the discovery of an old friend who suscribed thanks to someone else.
(it doesn't work?)
Theoretical background
Several mathematic and sociologic studies show that the world's population is in fact a so called small world. It means that two randomly chosen persons in the world are connected by a chain of at most 6 acquaintances.
