Think Big! Poster

6 degrees of separation or as some may call the 'human web', refers to the idea that everyone is on average approximately six steps away from any other person on Earth, so that a chain of, 'a friend of a friend' statements can be made, on average, to connect any two people in six steps or fewer.


After investigating the concept of 6 degrees of separation from 'The Tipping Point', I tried to make a relation to a similar experience that has happened to myself. 
As I could not think of any previous encounter of someone having known me through the passing of 6 other people, an interesting concept came to mind through the idea of social networking.


As a summer holiday or any type of holiday in that matter is one of the most easiest places to socialise with one another and meet knew friends, the idea of a Facebook program came to mind.
For the public roughly aged between 18 and 30, a very high percentage will be booked up to visit the summer holiday hotspots such as Magaluf, Zante, Kavos and Malia etc. For these people who may be travelling in groups or individually, the idea of a meeting program is a perfect way to make that summer holiday that bit more exciting. 
Users can either post on the Facebook page wherever they are recently going and view posts from others or the user can use the program to identify which hotspot is going to be most popular this summer before making the wrong choice and wasting their money.
A browsing aid could possibly be created to enable the user to enter their flight details after booking to view a list of friends and others who will be attending.
The socialising begins....
