degrees of separation

[Marc Dugger]

Is it possible to query an OpenSocial container for a list of people
who connect two unconnected people? For example, LinkedIn builds a
"pathway" of people when making contact. Thanks.

Not possible with current 0.7 spec.
0.8 will contain a network distance parameter through which you can get friends, friends of friends etc..

Thanks

LinkedIn today at  the 'Meet the Containers' session at Google I/O said they would add a 'number of hops'  field to the person data they return.
