UPDATE 4/15/08 @ 2347h: Some sophomoric geekish “humour” above, but as Jason mentioned below, this post is #1 on meme13 right now.
In a well-meaning gesture, Rogers Cadenhead has whipped up some code that tracks the last 13 bloggers on the Techmeme Leaderboard 100, called Meme13, in an effort to spread the word about lesser known [...]
Ah, Techmeme. The news aggregator bloggers love to love (or hate with equal measure). Two months ago I bemoaned how it wasn’t picking up what I perceived to be the most important news item (but eventually did).
