Six Degrees of Bloggeration

Someone should start a blog that will simply show us how many known blogs, in multiples of six, it would take to connect all the blogs in the blogosphere.

Want to get in on blogging but don't have a good idea to start your blog? This one will be simple:

1. Just start the blog with a brief explanation and list six blogs you know of. All the better if you like them. You're more apt to get the response needed to make this cool blog experiment work.

2. In the meantime, contact those six blogs and say, "Hey, check out this cool blog experiment! I just mentioned your blog and five others. Please take a moment to come over to my blog and leave a comment listing six blogs you know of. All the better if you like them."

3. Start a list on your blog of all the newly referred groups of six blogs, then contact those blogs and and ask the same of them. It would be great if you could ask that no one duplicate the others on the list already, if at all possible. Though, I still think it's okay if there is crossover. It's still a connection, even if it doesn't offer another degree. But limiting repeats would be best.

4. Obviously, you'll need to continue to list them all out on your blog. I think a simple list in order of a) when the blogs were referred and b) by which other blog would be the best way to start. Sure, some sort of a weblike organization chart depiction would be interesting, but it won't be necessary. A separate alphabetical list would also be a good idea, so bloggers could look for their own blogs and others they know of on the list.

That's all. It's a big ole blog chain. Your blog will probably become famous, at least among bloggers, if you take this idea and run with it. Oh, and please mention my blog on your first list of six!
