Facebook Says We’re All 3.57 Degrees From Everyone Else

The intimate event included Zuckerberg, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and a group of 18 people who have all made strong connections through Facebook. Thankfully, the video is completely customizable, meaning that you can avoid any mishaps by being able to control what’s featured in the video.

In an official blog post, Facebook CEO, Zuckerberg said, “That’s what the best movements do”.

The statistic has been released as Facebook marks its 12th birthday, and is also celebrating Friends Day. These videos stitch together special moments with their friends in a short film that can be edited and shared.

In addition to the Friends Day Video, Facebook is also adding a number of “Best Friends” stickers, which feature a cartoon armadillo and raccoon, which are, of course, the BFFs of the animal kingdom.

This is not the first time the social media platform has applauded friendship. I, apparently, am slightly more connected than some, with an average degree of separation of 3.22 people.

Started in Mark Zuckerburg’s college dorm room at Harvard since 2004; Facebook has come a long way from its humble beginnings, for that reason, showing its users recognition of their support throughout past years.

Facebook has announced 4 February 2016 is Friends Day.

According to Facebook, these videos are available to “most people in the world”.

A similar study carried out in 2011 by Facebook, Cornell University and The University of Milan found the average instances of interconnectedness between users was 3.74. “Sometimes friendship moves the world”, the 31-year-old billionaire posted. Well, the website that knows more about your friends than you do seems to think we’re all a lot closer that we previously thought.

The videos won’t be seen by anyone else unless a user decides to share the presentation.
