July 1, 2008

This post is part of a social network marketing experiment being run on [ Plurk ] right now…

If you came here from a [ plurk ] from one of your friends, do me the following favor ..

• Post a comment indicating who sent you here, and what your plurk address.. (no spam I promise) …

• Digg this article — part of the experiment is too see how many diggers there are on plurk.

• Then post this link : http://www.fortheloveofgeeks.com/2008/07/01/the-plurk-post/ in your plurk time line for your friends to come.

Thanks for your help …

I will update this post periodically with traffic data, and will post a final results at the end of next week.


** UPDATE **

WOW..  As you can see the experiment was a very interesting success.   Within a few hours, the call to come to this link had spread through plurk and so far we have 40 diggs, and more then 50 comments… Beyond that this post was viewed almost 1000 times.

That is amazing.

Keep it going.  If you haven’t spread the word, plurk this link into your time line and keep the word going.
