Some of this post makes me wonder where Less Wrong sits within social networks. I suspect we have close ties to the BoingBoing-Make ecosystem and may even be part of it.
I would be incredibly surprised if we are contained within it. I would be kind of surprised if we're contained to 90% within any 10X larger group. There is definitely a large overlap with Hacker News.
Most of the NYLW regulars aren't HN readers.
I concur. I can't think of any Internet group I know of that LW overlaps substantially with. I can spot small segments of groups I'm in and around (Wikipedia, RationalWiki) and I'm actively trying to recruit people with an interest in rambunctious philosophy discussion ... LW has actually interested me in and taught me about philosophy more than anything I can think of, and I studied the stuff many years ago.
I feel the same way, for what it's worth.
I note fair levels of overlap between less wrong and those in the transhumanist, H+, singularity, & cryonics communities.
(cough) well, yes, apart from them, given it's run by the SIAI :-)
