Here’s an interesting experiment via Duncan Rawlinson. Scott Eric Kaufman is tracking the speed at which memes travel for a talk he’s giving. The interesting thing about this is that I originally saw the post on Liz’ blog before I read Duncan’s post…so it’s hit my eyes twice in a little less than a day. Anyway, here’s what he’s asking us to do:
1. Write a post linking to this one in which you explain the experiment.
2. Ask your readers to do the same. Beg them. Relate sob stories about poor graduate students in desperate circumstances. Imply he’s one of them. (Do whatever you have to. If that fails, try whatever it takes.)
3. Ping Technorati
