Recently Watts and Strogatz have given an interesting model of small-world networks. Here we concretise the concept of a ``far away'' connection in a network by defining a {\it far edge}. Our definition is algorithmic and independent of underlying topology of the network. We show that it is possible to control spread of an epidemic by using the knowledge of far edges. We also suggest a model for better advertisement using the far edges. Our findings indicate that the number of far edges can be a good intrinsic parameter to characterize small-world phenomena.
