Facebook has a feature called "People You May Know". Essentially it points you to other Facebook users who are friends of your friends to see if you know these people. It is based on a pretty reasonable premise -- if you know A, B and C, and they in turn all know D, then you should know D as well.
Right?
Wrong.
What is surprising about "People You May Know" is that it lists people who are known by 5, 10 even 15 of your friends, and you have absolutely no idea who these people are.
It's like the Anti Six Degrees of Separation.
