This data should be useful to people who are trying to publicize LW, though the question would be better put in a survey to reach the section of the audience that read the Sequences but doesn't read Discussion much. A bit late for that, though. :(
Genji Press->Orac->Neuroskeptic->FunTheory Sequence.
At least that's how I remember it. Funny that Genji Press is primarily an anime/Japanese media blog, given where the links have lead me.
Neuroskeptic has referenced the fun theory sequence? That's interesting. Do you remember where?
I was reflecting the other day about how I learned about LessWrong. As best as I can recall/retrace, I learned about LessWrong from gwern, who I met in the #wikipedia IRC channel via an essentially chance meeting. I'm wondering how typical my experience is. How did you come to LessWrong?
EDIT: Optional follow-up question: Do you think that we (the community) are doing enough to bring in new users to LessWrong? If not, what do you think could be done to increase awareness of LessWrong amongst potential rationalists?
