[1stPickSites] Small World Project

Small World Project - Columbia University
http://smallworld.columbia.edu/index.html

Your task is to move a message closer to a target person somewhere in the
world. You can be involved in several ways. You may have received a message
from a contact of yours asking you to participate by moving forward an
already existing message chain. You may also start your own message chains
trying to reach a range of targets. You must send all messages using our
website. Collectively, participants link together to form chains, reaching
from inital senders to our chosen target individuals.

If you received an email from a friend or acquaintance with a link then you
need to follow that link. Otherwise, you can just sign up and start your own
chains. We first ask for your consent to participate in the experiment, and
then ask for some basic information about you to help us better understand
how messages move through social networks. You will then see your target's
photo and a short bio, and we will ask you which friend or acquaintance you
wish to choose as the next person in the chain. Finally, we will send your
contact a message from you, asking them to participate in the same way. This
process continues until, hopefully, a chain reaches the target person.
