Benefits of technology
The present invention is a social networking website that uses advanced techniques to help people connect with people worldwide. It draws upon the work of social scientists to create a unique and effective platform. The website is designed to overcome limitations of traditional social research and provides a novel way for people to access and connect with others. It also breaks down barriers of access and provides a comprehensive database of relationships. In summary, the website aims to enhance the way people view their relationships and generate revenue through advertising. Additionally, it offers a way for people to potentially access the affluent, famous, interesting, or those outside their immediate sphere. The website also helps people discover the outer bounds of their social network.
Problems solved by technology
To date, no site has tried to complete the “small world” experiment online in an open forum.
Further, these sites are “closed” systems where registered users may only interact with, and understand their relationship to, other registered users.
Traditional social network services, however, only show connections among people who opt into their proprietary service.

Methods and computer program products for facilitating the operation of Internet-based (i.e., online) social networking sites are disclosed. Such methods and computer program products allow people to discover, explore and maintain relationship paths (i.e., links) with any other person in the world by utilizing the fact that every person has one or more “relationship paths” to everyone else through varying degrees of separation. The power of the Internet, via online social networking sites, is leveraged to build a comprehensive database revealing how each person is connected to everyone by designating certain users of the site as “hubs,”“gateways” and / or “connectors.
