The Facebook Experiment Starts Now

I just thought of this today and will now begin the experiment. I've tagged 30 people in a note on Facebook that asks them to copy the note, paste it in a note of their own, and tag 30 people with it. Then they should follow the link in the note that goes to a single page I created.

I won't give the page away because I want every reference to come from Facebook itself. What I want to happen is to see 100,000 or more hits to that page over the next week. I expect this because social networking is viral (if people cooperate) and word can spread very quickly. I want to see just how quickly that is.

I will publish the results here and under the label "Facebook Experiment" as the project progresses.
