Welcome to The Share Experiment!

After signing up you will be taken to a page where you can download share. The user name and password is the same one you will use when running the share application (so remember it :-). Your user name must start with a letter and only contain letters, numbers or underscores.

We will be running the main experiment starting Friday June 5th. A few days after that will make a release available for everyone who signed up that is not in the main competition. The delay is just to give us (me) time to ramp things up a bit more slowly and make sure nothing breaks. Thanks for your understanding.

Experimenters, once you are done signing up and obtaining the software. Kindly head over to the forums and introduce yourself...
