It is an invitation only website and I think you will really like it. We are starting it with only the people that know and appreciate the six degrees theory.
www.GoogolMeHere.com . Kind of like a ?MySpace? for grownups. It is based on the 6 degrees of Separation theory. I want to see how far my 6 degrees of separation can reach. It is really pretty interesting. And there is nothing else like it on the internet.
I have been looking for a friend for 21 years and still can not find her. I was on MySpace but it was impossible to find my own daughter there.
Anyway, check it out and I hope to see you there. You never know who you will end up reconnecting with. Just put in this email address (GoogolBug@aol.com) in the Invitation section on the homepage and you can get in. Once you register, you can invite as many people as you want to. Make sure you read the ?About Us? section to understand the website concept. By the way, the Basic site is FREE!
