I think that the most interesting part of chapter 2 was the part about the connectors. Gladwell used his own circle of friends to find out who the connectors were. In his case it happened to be his friend Jacob. I really like when he showed how he met other friends through Jacob and said that it wasn't his circle of friends, it was Jacob's pyramid of friends. This is really true. I've noticed that, especially here at school, there are one or two people that I can link all my friends to. If I had never meet these two people, the group of friends I hang out with everyday would be really different from what it is now. And because my connectors know so many people, the circle is still growing and we're adding mew people everyday.
The part with the quiz was pretty interesting because as i was looking at I realized I know at least 25 people who had those names as their last names. Hopefully that means that I'm a good connector and am helping to expand other peoples social circles.
