I'm having a smile at Blake's suggestions, but I think I'll pass on those, especially the one about dividing by zero.Russell Blackfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431324430596809958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-49467540786745695482007-01-12T13:22:00.000+11:002007-01-12T13:22:00.000+11:00I'm not a lurker, having posted an awful lot of ra...I'm not a lurker, having posted an awful lot of random things, but I figured I should say hello. Hello!<br /><br />If you'd like to boost your readership numbers, well, I recall that <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/evolutionblog/">Jason Rosenhouse</a> and <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/">Mark Chu-Carroll</a> both saw big spikes when they lucked upon a topic which had enough mass-net-appeal that they got Slashdotted or Digged (Dugg?). <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2006/12/nullity_the_nonsense_number_1.php">The story</a> of the man who claimed <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/evolutionblog/2006/12/math_cranks.php">he could divide by zero</a> worked pretty well.<br /><br />You could always try what David Brin tried and <a href="http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/feature/1999/06/15/brin_main/index.html">insult <i>Star Wars</i></a> or <a href="http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2006/09/14/basic/">say that BASIC wasn't</a> <a href="http://davidbrin.blogspot.com/2006/09/blog-dont-always-worksurprise.html">all bad</a>.<br /><br />Over in the physics blogosphere, you could get a sizable response by making any statement about string theory in a loud, clear voice. People might be getting burnt out by now, but if <a href="http://asymptotia.com/2006/11/10/more-scenes-from-the-storm-in-a-teacup-vi/">Clifford Johnson could get 326 comments in one thread alone</a>, it may be worth a shot.<br /><br />(Of course, I've already made <i>my</i> statement about the "String Wars": perhaps I've just read too much Pynchon, but <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2007/01/stupidity_from_our_old_friend.php#c313097">I smell a conspiracy</a>.)<br /><br />There you go: another highly entropic, link-heavy comment. I must be in the middle of some serious procrastination.
