A lot of folks have been pointing to the Wired article about the Blog Epidemic Analyzer that purports to track link trends as they propagate:
The most-read webloggers aren't necessarily the ones with the most original ideas, say researchers at Hewlett-Packard Labs.
Duh. What would be interesting is tracking more situations where mainstream media copies text verbatim from weblogs (Thanks, Lyn).

This got me thinking: Based on the thousand monkeys![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
claim, and taking into account the vast amounts of content/data that now exist across the Internet, is there actually a chance this could truly be a coincidence? (I don't think it's likely, just wondering out loud.)

[meta] Is anybody else using/paying attention to the Wiki? I'm trying, but I find the page design too busy. I often lose (visually) the contributed content among the other text and elements. Dan, is this included in the Flutterby code, or is it separate? Maybe I can take a look at what's being output and submit something a bit more friendly. [/meta]

It's in the Flutterby code. If you've got a CVS checkout, it's the file in flutterby_cms/html/wiki.html, although if you just wanna mung the output HTML I'd be happy to stuff the queries back in to whatever you come up with.

I'll try to poke around with this a little later in the week.
