TOO MUCH INFORMATION

Blog Epidemic Analyzer

"This is a demonstration website for our recent research on information dynamics in blogspace. ......"
That's as far as I got before I blacked out under the weight of buzzwords and mumbo with a smattering of jumbo.
All very scientific and confusing. I'm no information scientist but how is this useful?

HOLD ON, IT'S A DESSERT TOPPING AND A FLOOR WAX

Ostensibly, Copyscape is a way to see who's biting your rhymes b ut I found it pretty useful as a meme tracker.

Googlebox From the dude that brought you Amazon Box, this computerized logrolling [publishers slang for praise bandied about amongst a small cadre of authors and mentors] is usefull if you have more than ten Google listings about your site. It's also interesting to note that the really useful Google innovations come from outside Google. I just saved you that 25000 dollars you were going to invest in the big Gs IPO. Say than you.
