With this development, the theory of 6 degrees of separation was old: are now only 4.7.

Facebook introduced an interactive map with the Stamen data visualization company that allows you to graphically see what are the connections between the different countries through a few balloons with proportional sizes.

For example, Argentina shows its highest level of interaction with Uruguay, followed by other neighbouring countries such as Chile, Paraguay and Peru.

But, in addition, the social network provides information on the migratory flow of different Nations. Regarding Buenos Aires says: "" in 2012, the Argentina has 191,000 Chile, 158,000 immigrants Peru and 551.000 immigrants from Paraguay inimigrantes"."

One of the initiatives that drove this development is the verification of the theory of six degrees of separation which, based on an investigation conducted by Stanley Milgram, ensures that a person is only 6 contacts away from any other in the world.

However, this Facebook proposal leaves old theory, and reflects that, today, the distance between people is, on average, only 4.7 jumps.
