[tweetmeme source= ‘plamere’ only_single=false] @meekles tweeted yesterday that he had found a 25 step path through Six Degrees of Black Sabbath and challenged anyone to find a longer path that his Path from Arthur to Eivind Fjoseide.

To sweeten the challenge, I’ll offer a prize of a coveted Echo Nest Tee Shirt for each new longest path found.  Here are the rules:

• When you find a path that you think is longer than any found so far, tweet the path with its length and the hashtags #6dobs and #longest. For example:  I made a 25 step path from arthur to Eivind Fjoseide #6dobs #longest http://bit.ly/9DANCk
• No skipping allowed in longest paths
• Only one tee-shirt given per milestone – so if 5 people find a 27 step path, only the first who finds it gets the tee-shirt
• Only one tee-shirt per person
• You are not eligible if you work for the Echo Nest, or if your name is Kurt Jacobson

The Echo Nest tee-shirt will turn you into a music metadata superhero

Have fun finding those paths!

Six Degrees of Black Sabbath

Update: Great work finding paths of at least 40 artists long.  Tee-shirt give away ends tonight (May 25) at midnight EDT!
