Barnett, "Facebook Cuts Six Degrees of Separation to Four," 22 November 2011 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/facebook/8906693/Facebook-cuts-six-degrees-of-separation-to-four.html average distance on Twitter is 4.67, as found in "Six Degrees of Separation, Twitter Style," 30 April 2010 http://www.sysomos.com/insidetwitter/sixdegrees/ or maybe it is only 3.43, as found in Bakhshandeh, Samadi, Azimifar & Schaeffer, "Degrees of Separation in Social Networks," 2011 http://www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/SOCS/SOCS11/paper/view/4031 "Allowed three hops" is closer to a grand mal seizure than a twitch.
