The Six Degrees of the Methoblogosphere

You probably thought “Hacking” and “Christianity” doesn’t go together.

Well…according to the website “the Six Degrees of Wikipedia” (which finds the shortest number of pages between two terms on Wikipedia…kinda like the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” movie trivia game)…they are only two degrees apart:

Hacking Christianity

• Hacking :: United Kingdom :: Christianity:: 2 degrees

See how the game is played?

I thought I would try applying this to some friend’s blogs and see where it got us. How related are our titles? Let’s try it out after the jump:

I did enjoy how Jeff’s degrees went through the WWE, Tony involved cattle, Jim traveled through Hungary and AC/DC, and Katie went through Colin Powell. Very entertaining journeys, there!

Try it yourself! Enjoy the game…post your degrees below!
