Measuring meme speed

Ok, I’ll play. The post at Acephalous, Measuring the Speed of Meme, asks bloggers to link to it and then ping Technorati. Always willing to be a human test subject, this post is my contribution to the experiment. The author intends to use the results as the basis for a presentation at the MLA 2006 conference. To volunteer yourself as a data point, here is what to do:

1. Write a post linking to this one [at Acephalous] in which you explain the experiment. (All blogs count, be they TypePad, Blogger, MySpace, Facebook, &c.)
2. Ask your readers to do the same. Beg them. Relate sob stories about poor graduate students in desperate circumstances. Imply I’m one of them. (Do whatever you have to. If that fails, try whatever it takes.)
3. Ping Technorati.
