How you’re connected to Kevin Bacon

Previously I showed you how to get Neo4j up and running with Ruby and how to find recommended friends on a social network. What about finding out how you are connected to someone outside of your friends of friends network? Do you remember the concept of six degrees of separation? No, how about six degrees of Kevin Bacon?
Another good example of using Neo4j.
I would ask a different question of law enforcement and/or national security agencies:
Who is within 2 degrees of separation of any current crime/terror suspect? Are you sure you have all the connections?
Graphs + topic maps can’t produce data that isn’t there, but they can help you manage data you have effectively.
