I'll set up a Google Alert for "experiment", "experiments", and "trial and error"; check it daily for promising opportunities to promote our work. |

I'll try it for a month, commenting when appropriate, and see if I get any responses at all. |

Matthew Cornell A few days ago I did: Tell Your Gut to Please Shut Up (http://blogs.hbr.org/schrage/2010/05/your-gut-is-overrated-really.html). Didn't get accepted, apparently.

Matthew Cornell Just did: 5 low-risk, high-reward experiments for IT | Developer World - InfoWorld

Registering was a bit of a pain.

Matthew Cornell Finishing the experiment. Too random. To do this properly I'd need to focus on a few influential people, such as bloggers for Scientific American, say.

Matthew Cornell I restarted this for two reasons. First, to collect good fodder for blogging ("look what people are experimenting with on the web"), and to see how people are using the word "experiment" in the news.

Matthew Cornell OK, I'm turning this into a blog experiment, which I'm excited about: New blog series: They did WHAT? Experiments and Ideas from the World Wide Lab - The Experiment-Driven Life Blog - http://www.matthewcornell.org/blog/2010/11/27/new-blog-series-they-did-what-experiments-and-ideas-from-the.html . I'm hoping it's a way for me to:
o have a straightforward topic to post about regularly
o keep people interested in TTL
o make myself "the guy" when it comes to self-experimentation
o learn from what people are trying in the world
o attract new readers
Question: How to measure results? I'm not clear about my goals right now, which indicate a poor experiment. Gut is all...

Matthew Cornell I continue to post experiment link-dumps every week or two. The problem is I have no good way as yet to measure the success, mainly because I haven't defined what I'm ultimately trying to achieve. Generally I want:
o to have the word "experiment" on the web go to me
o to create a little incoming link activity
o to give some link love (outgoing links) to generate interest in Edison
o to give me stimulating content that's relatively easy to write
o to give me an excuse to learn about how "experiment" is used in news and on the web
o "" to read about interesting stuff people are doing, which is fodder for my book and Think, Try, Learn philosophy
While it's not based on data, I'll continue with the exercise. Maybe it's not an experiment anymore. Your thoughts are welcome!

Matthew Cornell Still not sure about the value. What does that mean for the experiment?
