It’s some science thingie

November 28, 2006

Acephalous is studying how links propagate across the web, or something.  The deal is, you put a link like the one above on YOUR blog for some reason and he tracks it with a script and writes up a paper that he’s presenting at a convention…  he’ll probably fold some of the data he collects into his dissertation, or into a really bitchin’ paper airplane at least.

Aw, hell, I don’t really know what it’s for, but all the cool kids are doing it.  Next up is jumping off a cliff together, I think.
(Via a dozen of the blogs on my blogroll, I think)  Here’s that link:

    LOL I was just thinking… maybe this is an experiment to see how compliant and trusting bloggers are with one another.  Oh, and maybe he can even see if this phenomenon reaches across political spectrums as well and so on and so on…

    Oh, it is an experiment.  Most sociological experiments misstate their true purpose to avoid skewing the results, so you might be right about the true purpose. 

    I don’t envy him crunching the amount of data he’ll end up with and trying to model it for presentation.  Better him than me.
