Calculating The Speed of Meme

Acephalous, a science blogger, is doing an experiment on how fast a meme travels across the internet. To participate, create a link to Acephalous’s post on your website or blog, and then ping Technorati. It’s all in the name of science, and science is good. So, beeeee goooooood…
Update: Here’s some more on the spread of memes across the internet. Go here to watch a meme tree grow, and here for more — including some cool and useful graphics — on search bots and spamnation.
Spam pie, anyone?
Or how about some nice bushy Yahoo Slurp search results?

All our contributors may post at any time during the week. Their only requirement is that they must post on their day as well.

“Each writer may post as often as they like but they must post on their day.”
Ah! The heavy burden of semantics. The subtle pleasure of ambiguity.
FWIW

The bushy Yahoo slurp sounds interesting. What’s the URL?

Go to the second “update” link and pick yahoo slurp. I like the animation over 1 year.

Doug, as Steve says, you will find it at the the second “here” in the post. There’s lots of cool stuff about internet memes on that page.
