The story behind the name

As a child, I always enjoyed word games like that. So for those of you who haven't caught on yet, bet|6ixDegrees|ween means "6 degrees inbetween". 

Knowing that I wanted to focus on social media and its impact on human connection, I was inspired by John Guare's Six Degrees of Separation theory. Because the internet has opened the door to a world we could have only imagined before, we're more connected now than ever before. Who knows, maybe we're all connected by lesser degrees. In any case, the topics I hope to discuss will explore the pros and cons of social media and social networking, and how issues can shoot to the surface from across the world in mere seconds. 

The stories I choose will offer a new perspective on topics and issues that are both important and interesting to me, and who knows, maybe in some way, these stories are part of the 6 degrees that separate me to you!

The world is indeed an interesting place.
