Would be interested in a study, unfeasible as it may be, on the social compatibility of people who have the strongest overlap between themselves and the next closest user.

Cool visualization and analysis, really well made!




Thanks so much! How do you see that study playing out in metrics that we can measure and examine?


Absolutely no idea :D but if you were able to quantify it somehow I think the results would be fascinating.


Email adjacent users with a chat room link, say what this is about (you were identified as being similar, maybe you have similar interests)

Email random users (control group) the same

Ask after a month who's still in touch

I'd participate but please send me some of each group and don't tell me which is which :D
