Nova Spivak has injected a meme propagation test into the blogosphere. Call me a contrarian, but I am annoyed. For one, I don't look forward to sifting though endless instances of this nasty meme over the next few days.
Other than answering the questions below, please do not alter the information, layout or format of this post in order to preserve the integrity of the data in this experiment (this will make it easier for searchers and automated bots to find and analyze the results later). Source.
I strongly agree with many of Nova Spivak's ideas, but meme propagation tests such as this one are just plain silly. Certainly meme "instance data" for any given number of subjects could be had (and the propagation effect investigated) without encouraging thousands of people to post (and format their post) in a herd-like manner.
