Acephalous: Measuring The Speed of Meme: An Experiment in which You Will Participate, Or Else…
You too can participate in science from the comfort of your own home. Click on the link above to read the details of the experiment, or take the shortcut and just follow the instructions below.
- Write a post, in which you explain the experiment and link to the original post (http://acephalous.typepad.com/acephalous/2006/11/measuring_the_s.html). (All blogs count, be they TypePad, Blogger, MySpace, Facebook, &c.)
- Ask your readers to do the same. Beg them. Relate sob stories about poor graduate students in desperate circumstances. Imply I’m one of them. (Do whatever you have to. If that fails, try whatever it takes.)
- Ping Technorati.
[...] So Mary is participating in a social experiment and has requested her readers to participate as well. [...]
I’ll post it.
I’m all for doing things in the name of science :).
