    From the page: "if a person is one step away from each person he or she knows and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people he or she knows, then everyone is an average of six "steps" away from each person on Earth. If we assume this concept is true then this has implications on business relations as well. Now, let's combine this concept with the pyramid scheme where every individual has a network of up to 6 levels and every individual is on top of "their" pyramid. However, unlike the pyramid scheme where no product or service is being delivered; individuals in this combined concept sell their own goods, services or talents.. etc."

    Interesting concept, and one that I think would be more viable in a world where people didn't have such a strong belief that going to a "company" is a way to get service. Word of mouth would need to be the main marketing method of this business model.

    An interesting article that combines the "six degrees of separation" idea with the "pyramid scheme", and comes up with a new concept called the "Hexamodel". This can be applied as a business model.

    From the article: "Lets say that I offer a %5 commission on any person who refers me to his or her friend from the work being done. If we expand this network to everyone then does it mean lots of work for me, lots of money shared, and lots of friendships to be made?"
