Rowan Tree and Red Thread

I am participating in esmeraldus_neo's experiment. She's measuring the speed of meme transmission across the blogosphere, by means subtle and electronic.

Brief instructions:

1. Write a post linking to this one in which you explain the experiment. (All blogs count, be they TypePad, Blogger, MySpace, Facebook, etc.)


2. 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.)


3. Ping Techorati.

So I've done it, at the prompting of mizkit, and now, if you like, you can do the same.
