6.

more -> directory -> people -> personal homepages -> c -> choate, brad

Google > More > Directory > Internet > On The Web > Weblogs > Personal > B > Me.

Eight clicks. The directory pretty much does it for most folks.

huh, I thought the 6 of us who did the Blogger templates might have had the inside track on this, but no such luck. Still 6.

more -> Blogger -> Knowledge -> Blogger Reloaded -> Read all about it -> Dave Shea

(You know, a meme this fresh needs a name. "GooLinkNumber?")

MediaRights: 6
more -> directory -> society -> activism -> media -> MediaRights.org

Hello, Typepad: 7
As Matt said: ...I found a second path from Google to my site that used 7 links. From Blogger, to their Knowledge Base, is a link to a Wired story on Blogger Burnout, which links to Kottke.org which links has a sidebar link to my site.

RandomWalks: 8 or 9
8: The above method +1
9: more -> directory -> Computers > Internet > On the Web > Weblogs > Personal > R > randomwalks.com



Of course, all blogger members are 3 clicks away if they're logged in.

Eight:

Google -> more -> Directory -> Internet -> On the Web -> Weblogs -> Personal -> H -> highindustrial.com

6 for me.

Google -> more -> Directory -> Religion -> Yoga -> Personal Pages -> Swami Prem

I tried a bunch of ways and couldn't get lower then 7 or 8, but then found this path in 5:

Google > More > Directory > Reference > Quotations > moi

Of course it's much cooler if you don't go through the directory.

3 for me (if i'm already automatically logged into blogger... otherwise 4)

Google > More > Blogger > Bay Area Free Wireless (under "Blogs of Note")

of course that'll be more once I drop off the list. but hopefully that won't be for a while. also, to get to my personal page, that adds a click too... from the BayAreaFreeFi site to my personal site.

5.

News -> Guardian (almost any) -> Guardian ("Weblog") -> Guardian ("Online") -> nyclondon.com

12. (I'm a. maintaining some level of anonymity b. not producing any worthwhile content and c. not a big part of the weblogging community.)

Google -> more -> Blogger -> Blogger Developers -> AtomEnabled.org Developers -> Feed Validator -> Dive Into Mark -> XML is Tough -> Phil Ringnalda -> Musings: Objection Overruled! -> Musings -> Musings: WordPress 1.2, MathML Goodness -> me.

You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.

You all have too much time on your hands :)

Eight for me:

Google > More > Blogger > Knowledge > Working With Blogger > How Not to Get Fired Because of Your Blog > Seattle Times: Microsoft Fires Worker Over Weblog > eclecticism

For me, it's eight.

Google > More > Directory > Internet > On The Web > Weblogs > Personal > S > Subzero Blue.

I'm a little obscure, so it took seven clicks.

www.dontforward.com

Seven clicks, from two paths:

more -> Directory -> Computers -> Graphics -> Web -> Colors -> Using Colour on the Web

more -> Directory -> Society -> Genealogy -> Personal Pages -> S -> Saila

Google > More > Directory > Computers > Internet > On the Web > Weblogs > Technology > Google Weblog > Alterego

10.

i count 5 clicks.

Google > Verzeichnis (1) > Menschen (2) > persoe. HPs (3) > weblogs (4) > persoe. weblogs (5) > weblog

Google > More > Directory > Internet > On The Web > Weblogs > Personal > A > > Aderemi's New Notebook > me @ insinuendo

11. I got lucky with step 9...otherwise i'd have given up due to RSI.

Here's some variety off of the directory theme....

Google > Directory > Computers > Data Formats > Stlye Sheets > CSS > Examples > CSS Zen Garden > bradleyboy

How about the question:
How many clicks does it take to get from any page to any other page on the web?

I wrote a short entry about the path length between two web pages. On average any two random sites can be connected by only 19 clicks. Pretty small considering how gigantic the web is.

9 here

Google > More > Directory > Internet > On the Web > Weblogs > Webrings > Obscure Blogs > Member List > Undisclosed Location

10 this way

Google > More > Directory > Internet > On the Web > Weblogs > Collaborative > Meme > Unconscious Mutterings > Check out who's playing > Undisclosed Location

Mine tally's up to 6:
Google > more > Directory > People > Personal Homepages > The "Computers>Internet>On the Web>Weblogs>Personal" link, W, Walljm.com

Could also do it in 7:
Google > more > Directory > Internet > On the Web > Weblogs > Personal > W > Walljm.com

Six degres of separation?

Google > Blogger > Knowledge > "Bloggers Suffer Burnout" > Instapundit > Eric Zorn's Notebook > Weblogs of Interest > Gapers Block

0: Google

Only eight people a day read my blog (and probably 4 of them are my mother), and it only took me 9 clicks.

google>more>directory>internet>on the web>weblogs>directories>blogscanada>DeannaInUganda

If it only takes me 9, i don't know where the challenge is for the rest of you

Nine clicks: Google > More > Blogger > Knowledge > Burnout > Whiskey Bar > Crooked Timber > Language Hat > PF > Moss

Fun! But now it's going to be all I can do not to spend the rest of the day trying to find a shorter path.

5:
Google > more > directory > Games:Board Games > Print and Play > Invisible City Productions' Game District

Moss! I know you. You're Remi's friend. I recognized you by your url. Fancy meeting you here...

Eight...

I'm affraid I'd have to keep clicking untill any relation actually comes to exist. Could take a while, too.

Google > More > Directory > Computers > News Media > freshnews.org > Gizmodo > digitalslr.org

7. Would have thought I could find a shorter path to Gizmodo, but no luck.

Google > More > Society > Religion & Spirituality > Atheism > Personal Pages > The Raving Atheist > PurpleCar 7? Maybe 8 if you don't see my link right away.

How dubious, eh? This game will morph into who has the shortest and WEIRDEST path. Mr. Kottke should hand out prizes for the best one.

7 clicks is the quickest route I could think of right now, but I'll have fun with this. Thanks! Although, I think I'll start worrying if it gets below 5 clicks. I like to be anonymous.

we used to play a similar game when i was in college. yahoo had a random link that would take you to a random site in their index and we'd see how long it took to navigate to your home page. it was like 1994/95 back then so not many people had personal sites and "blogrolls" but it was pretty simple to find a government page which usually linked to state governments and universities and then we could easily navigate back to our sites since they were hosted on the university's servers.

7: More > Directory > Regional > Polar Regions > Antarctic > South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands > Boogenstein.com

A nice surprise, I thought it would take me hours to get from one to the other.
