Abstract

The social network communications structure of LiveJournal (LJ) is investigated. The distribution of the shortest ways connecting two users, which has well-defined peak on six links, is considered. Thereby the concept of six degrees of separation of Milgram is confirmed. The close interposition of most users along with the scale-invariant organization of the LJ network allows to designate it as the small worlds.
