Connect

You have the option to choose one of the top ten connections from the map or have us choose a top connection for you. Then, you will both be put into a Facebook message so you can start chatting.

Maintain

Now that we've helped you make a new friend, we want you to keep talking! SixDegrees will store your connections and suggest restaurants and activities for you and your new friend to do.
