Here is an interesting article “Six Degrees of messaging” on how people connect via chat drawing on a comparison to the famous Stanley Milgram study.
What would make such study much more interesting would to see how people found each other via different messenger service such af Skype, Yahoo, Google and so forth and not just MSN Messenger. But I am even more puzzled about how people would connect by using search and maybe tags on mutual interests!
