Rarely do I watch a documentary that has such deep implications for our world as this one. Titled "How Kevin Bacon Cured Cancer", this almost 60 minute Australian documentary traces the development of network science. There are many implications for our work as recruiters. I now look at my networks in a whole new way! I highly recommend that you schedule 60 uninterrupted minutes to watch. It's clear to me that LinkedIn promiscuous linkers are the hubs: the people with huge numbers of connections. You'll see in the documentary that the structure of the Internet, power grids, transportation networks, disease and the human cell all follow the same principles and design as our own networks of people.

Watch the documentary and think about how you can apply the lessons to our world. Please add your thoughts as comments here.
