This is an actual experiment! You are part of it right now, even if you decide not to continue reading, because than you are counted as a non-responder (which is fine).

You heard about the small world experiments conducted by Stanley Milgram and the Six degrees of separation? Well this in the next generation of such experiments using twitter.

I want to learn if it is possible to create #twynamic as a trending topics and how long it takes.

What I did so far is create a new twitter account "twynamics" and followed the first 20 suggested users. Moreover, I tweet these top three twitter users (according to http://twitterank.com):

• @jowyang Please tweet #twynamics see http://tinyurl.com/twynamics
• @TweetDeck Please tweet #twynamics see http://tinyurl.com/twynamics
• @mitchjoel Please tweet #twynamics see http://tinyurl.com/twynamics

and followed them from my new twitter account. I also announced this experiment from my twitter account "markusdahlem". Finally, I followed the first three new followers, all wearing revealing clothing.

To be continued!
