A lot of people are aware of the theory of "Six Degrees of Separation". I love the whole idea and love bringing it up in general conversation. I also love the piss take "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" which has long since taken on a life of it's own. Now, I won't Tweet and I won't Facebook but when applied to the theory of "Six Degrees" it becomes downright fascinating. Just as an experiment I wanted to see where "six degrees of tweet" would take me. I laid down the ground rules quite quickly and then changed them almost as quickly again. It's my game and I can make up the rules as I like. Anyways, here are the rules: Start with "fill in the blank" star and by using only the 30 or so followers on their tweet page see where six steps will take you. Of those 30 I could only use the one that seemed the most random that I knew of. Turns out the Dalai Lama doesn't have a Twitter account. Bummer, I thought that would be an interesting place to start. So I turned to Madonna. Almost as religious as the Dalai but with more friends. Turns out, she has started an "official" Twitter account in September 09 but has made no tweets since leaving a link to her website. I suppose this was to stop fake tweeters from pretending to be her but that left her followers in the lurch and one of them was Obama! Snap! I was 0-2 at this stage and I thought this idea might be a bit of a wash but I saw that Demi Moore was also one of Madonna's jilted followers. I do know the she and her partner Ashton Kustner are one of the leaders of the Twitter cult so I decided to go that way. I also will throw in one of the tweets from their page and then one of my own so that you can be enlightened.
Step 0: Demi Moore
Tweets: . @billgates Nice to have you in the world of Twitter. Look forward to your tweets! Everyone please give him a warm Twitter welcome!
Finndego Tweets: You know your fucking powerful when you get to welcome Bill Gates to the club.
Step 1: Madonna
Tweets: @mileycyrus Hey Miley! It's Madonna
Finndego Tweets: Hey Miley, you want to fucking try me. Look what I did to Britney. You will never be me. I will rip your head off and drink your blood before you ever get near me!
Step 2: Martha Stewart
Tweets: p://twitpic.com/zjtqc - Genghis Khan (g.k.) the new puppy trying to find a place in NYC to pee. this tree surround was a handy place for
Finndego Tweets: Couldn't find a place to pee in NYC so I bought Central Park so that he could have a tree to piss on. Shame about those people in Haiti.
Step 3: Serena Williams
Tweets: @FataM666 Are you serious?
Finndego Tweets: Are you serious? Martha Stewart follows me? She so gangsta since she got outta prison. Wu Tang!
Step 4: Green Day
Tweets: Rolling Stone names "American Idiot" 22nd Best Album of the Decade http://bit.ly/8naoie
Finndego Tweets: So proud of you guys for hanging around until you got the recognition you deserved! BTW, did you know Serena Williams follows you?
Step 5: Katy Perry
Tweets: Sat by Chris Rock @"Hope for Haiti" Telethon which was an AMAZING success! On his way out he said, "see ya at the next disaster!" OMG!!!
Finndego Tweets: BTW, the next disaster is probably your career, unless you start kissing more girls!
Step 6: Amy Winehouse
Tweets: this is bollocks.
Finndego Tweets: Is that your career or Katy Perry's?
Now that is my sixth step. If you look at Amy's followers, down on the bottom row you will see,who else but Demi Moore the Twitter overlord.Did you also know that Demi Moore starred in "A Few Good Men" with Kevin Bacon. The circle is now complete.
