I just tried Geoff's Small World Experiment, which is as follows:
Enter the Blogroll small world experiment!
Step 1. Find a random weblog. I [Geoff] used the Typepad recently updated weblogs list or www.weblogs.com
Step 2. Use the blogroll (or any list of links to other weblogs) to find other weblogs with blogrolls.
Step 3. Compile a path of links through the world of weblogs that will take you home to your own weblog (or any other target you choose). You may have to explore several different possible paths until you find the shortest path to your home weblog.Can you get home in 6 clicks?
There is also a later version, but since Mulubinba Moments already has a link to my site, I thought it would be kind of pointless to go with that one.
I started with the list of recently updated blogs in my sidebar. One called Le Salon Beige caught my eye, so I decided to make that my starting point. Hmm, no blogroll. Time to start over.
Okay, here's an interesting one with the highly original name of main. Oh poop! It's password protected.
Let's see. What else? Why don't I just go with the first one on the list: fairy anthropology: project journal. Well, that was interesting. There's a lot of stuff there but no blogroll. This is crazy! I can't even find a workable starting point!
What about karmaville? Finally, I see a blogroll! Now do I recognize anyone on it? . . . Snowball?! It couldn't be. It is!!! Just in case you missed it:
karmaville ---> Snowball ---> ME
As I often say, if you know Snowball, you've got it made. Interestingly, karmaville is also on Snowball's blogroll.
Conclusion: Out of all weblogs with blogrolls surveyed (that would be one), none was found to be further than two clicks away from me.
In hindsight it occurs to me that I should probably have started with a non-TypePad site.
