720 Selves

"Properly speaking, a man has as many social selves as there are individuals who recognise him." -- William James

Generated from 720 of my closest friends on Facebook.

If everyone on Facebook generated a similar photo, and iterated once for each degree of separation, you could see the entire Facebook network in one photo (at a high enough resolution).

    That's a really interesting idea. As an infinite zoom movie? Pick a friend loop that's about 20 users long and then make the movie loop.
