Home | Archive of Our Own Get Smarter Here Six Degrees of Wikipedia Ever heard of the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? If you haven't, it works like this: Every actor gets a Kevin Bacon number. Kevin Bacon has a Kevin Bacon number of 0, actors who were in a movie with Kevin Bacon get a Kevin Bacon number of 1, actors who were in a movie with someone who has a Kevin Bacon number 1 get a 2, and so on (Everybody always gets the smallest number possible, so if you were in a film with two people, one with a 4 and one with a 6, your Kevin Bacon number would be 5). The same idea could apply to the articles Wikipedia. Several people were asking about what's known as the "diameter" of Wikipedia, that is, the distance between the two articles furthest apart (the longest shortest path if that makes any sense to you). Another question that came up was why I chose the "departure center" (the article from which it's easiest to get anywhere else), rather than the "arrival center" (the article that it's easiest to get to). The complete results are available here.

Opentape Last.fm Tumblr Weekly Top Artists - Joe Lazarus Update: On June 10th, 2011, Tumblr announced a new version of their site that removed the ability to import RSS feeds unless you were previously using that feature. Since this Last.fm Weekly Top Artists feed was dependent on that feature, I’m afraid it’s no longer available. If you want to import your Last.fm top artists, please contact Tumblr and ask them to reactivate the RSS import option. If you’d like to highlight your music interests from Last.fm on your Tumblr page but don’t want to inundate friends with posts for each track, check out this simple tool I made called Last.fm Tumblr. To add the feed to your Tumblr: The feed will automatically update each week on Sunday unless you don’t listen to any music through Last.fm that week, in which case nothing will appear. NOTE: If you run the Pipe and it returns an error message saying there are no results to display, that usually means you didn’t listen to 5 or more bands last week through Last.fm.
