so i'd like to frame this post around the 'facebook friend triangle'. i googled for an article on this concept but couldn't find one. maybe i'm making a scoop here? anyway a facebook friend triangle is when you make friends with someone and start snooping. are they fat? married? dating the opposite gender since the last time i saw them? and finally you root through their friends. and whammo they know another one of your friends and you never knew it. small small world.
i just made my fourth facebook friend triangle.
1. brian (a friend of a friend i met at a party) knows julio (who i work with) because they went to architecture school in pr together.
2. csl (in my triathlon club) knows cdb (who was my wife's roommate who moved to nyc the first week of september, 2001) because they both have written for the nytimes.
3. bethany (my wife's former coworker) knows sarah (my sister's old soccer teammate) as a fellow teacher at her brooklyn high school.
4. and candice (first person i met at virginia tech during summer orientation) who knows chris (who i've been friends with since i was 7) because she loves to dance to his dirtybird records dj sounds.
anyone else felt this phenomenon?

I can think of at least two instances of FFT but know there are several I just can't remember right now. Someone I studied with in Riva who is now a client of my high school friend's fiance. And a girl who is leading the Young Professionals group for Acumen who somehow knows my cousin!
Ha! Your first triangle goes even further because I too know Julio...he was in my class!
