Hi. You’ve been sponsored as “Friend” by Rachel [last name redacted] as part of something called sixdegrees, one of the fastest growing phenomena on the Web, located at http://www.sixdegrees.com

You may have already heard of the six degrees of separation concept - where everyone on the planet is connected to each other through fewer than 6 people. Well, we haven’t quite connected the whole world yet, but there are over a million people participating, and over 900,000 of them are connected in one giant chain.

And, just by confirming your relationship with Rachel, you can instantly tap into this interconnected community of interesting people from all over the world.

So what? Well, by getting connected, you can come to the Web site (which is completely FREE) and use a whole variety of valuable, fun and intriguing services that make use of this massive chain of connections.

You can come see who’s logged on the site right now and when you find someone interesting, we’ll show you exactly how you’re connected no matter how many degrees it takes, and then you can instant message them.

You can also find out how you’re connected to that head of personnel at the big firm where you’ve been trying to get your foot in the door.

You can chat with people from around the globe and then see who you know in common.

You can post burning questions on your own personalized bulletin board and get valuable answers from your “circle” (your friends and friends of friends).

You can even get Movie recommendations from the people you’re connected to.

So, stop by the site at http://www.sixdegrees.com to learn more and give it a try. (You can log in with this password: stopsock).
