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?
Likewise, I was following OB, which I started reading about a month after it started; I have no memory of how I found OB.
I found OB around the same time via Scott Aaronson's blog -- which in turn I had originally discovered by typing "googol" into Google (leading me to this).
