Testing the Memetrackers

If tests of the memetrackers were really necessary, couldn’t they have done something meaningful, like spread the word about a charity? Or told the world about an unsung hero? Something with meaning rather than nonsense words?

Maybe I’m missing something here, but as long as the test used something obscure, wouldn’t it achieve the same result as nonsense words for testing the memetrackers? And then these very popular blogs would be spreading the word about something worthwhile that could probably use the help…

Just wondering…..

The diplomatic side of me decided they must’ve had a scientific reason.

The rest of me thought it was the blogging version of that FW: email that asks you if you’re really a friend, FWD to everyone you care about.

Is there a delete key on my feed reader?

Great idea on the charity meme – hmmm.

Thanks for the comment Mike. It just seems to me that if you want to flex your blog muscles, by all means, go for it, but do some good while you’re at it.
