Acephalous is trying to measure meme speeds, but we are theorists, dammit, a model prediction is needed!
So what is the asymptotic speed of a free small meme in the wild web?

Some things spread like wildfire across the blogs. But, can an artificial meme, designed specifically to measure the speed of its spreading, spread as fast? If we know its speed, can we know its position at the same time, and vice versa?
Matt and Mrs.Whatsit tagged me with the 7-meme and 8-meme and I have bee
I got tagged with a meme by Greg who is trying to track the branching tree of this meme, so go check his post out (especially let him know if you do one of your own).
