well, the idea with e-mail chain letters could be a good one. Tracking
should not be too hard, just make it part of the meme to get back with a
source. What do you think should be the content of the meme, and wait
shall we use to encourage it's spreading?
If we are going to try this, we might as well make the content useful.
Recently there has been mention of trying to give science a good name. We
could maybe write something up with this, encouraging people to write their
congressmen (congresspeople?) saying the support scientific funding. Maybe
give examples of many different scientific funding experiments, and ask the
victims(meme recipients) to choose which ones they agree with and to write
to congress, and to respond to some address at this domain, where we can
tally. Ask them if they would say how many copies they forwarded, if they
received more than one copy, etc...
Or maybe we could spread a meta-meme.
Then we need the viral shell. With the science we can emphasize the
results it will have on their children, prob the same for the meta-meme.
Well what do you think. If we use the metameme idea people may be more
willing to fill out a survey as they will understand better what is going
on..
