Six degrees of separation is the idea that, if any given person stood one step away from someone they knew and two steps away from every person who was known by someone they knew, everyone on Earth would be, at most, six steps away from any other person. Skeptical? Herville Dundridge would insist the theory holds it's weight. After graduating from Tegesta High in 2005, Dundridge went onto MIT and developed a social networking site in August of 2008, based on the Six Degrees of Separation theory. His idea was simple. Herv wanted to create a web of communication composed entirely of individuals who, in some way, shape or form, had developed some sort of connection to Key West, Florida. He named his journaling site Tegesta, as an homage to his old high school, and deliberately made signing up easy. Members would fill out a short survey, noting specially what their connection to Key West was and then they were in. Those connections were immediately as diverse as the people creating journals were. Ormond's nephew in Australia was among the first but others followed. A pediatrist who vacationed in the Keys. Then a scuba diving instructor who ordered his first wetsuit from a store in the city. Short of a year later and Dundridge's site/social experiment is booming, thanks to a few well-placed fliers and a couple of persistent e-mails. • rules
