Six Degrees of Wikipedia
February 6th, 2006
ADVERTISEMENTS
Another trivia tool for Wikipedia users. Six degrees of Wikipedia finds the shortest path between any two Wikipedia articles in the main namespace using wiki links.
Just type in any two terms and it finds the degrees of separation between these terms. e.g. Firefox and Hotmail have 3 degrees of separation. Simply put, it means that if you start from the first term, it will take 3 internal wikipedia clicks to reach the next term. More technically speaking it is the “iterative deepening, depth first search, shortest path query tool for Wikipedia“. Try it out!
