Interesting point: How does anybody find LW? Suppose you're out in cyberspace, wanting to discuss rationality. What search term could you enter to find this place? Googling "rationality" doesn't turn up LW.

Should I put a link to Less Wrong in the Wikipedia page on rationality? Is there a better keyword than 'rationality' for LW?

My sister sent me a link to HP:MOR I read it, got to the end, and decided I wanted more MOR...

So I dug into it. EY's username is "lesswrong" which I googled and found this site.

As a side-point. My sister doesn't seem to have been interested in coming to lesswrong.

I also posted the link on facebook... so all my friends (male and female) would have seen it. I've also blogged about it on my tech-blog (I have 175 regular subscribers - mostly male but some female through girlgeek blogs).

No idea if anybody followed me through the looking glass.
