Bloggers' Plagiarism Scientifically Proven

Blog Epidemic Analyzer: "This is a demonstration website
for our recent research (here and here) on information dynamics in
blogspace. You may type in a partial substring of a URL you would
like to track. For example compare slow, long running memes like HREF="/cgi-bin/blogs/search_new.cgi?s=giantmicrobes">"giantmicrobes"
(i.e. www.giantmicrobes.com) or HREF="/cgi-bin/blogs/search_new.cgi?s=spambayes">"spambayes"
(i.e. spambayes.sourceforge.net) to short punctuated ones like HREF="/cgi-bin/blogs/search_new.cgi?s=cnn.com">"cnn.com"
articles.

Check out this page for some popular memes/URLs from that period.

The data is based on crawls from May 1-21, 2003 and
includes ~37k blogs. The visualizations show which blogs mention the
URL and possible/likely routes of "infection."

Layouts are
being generated offline for the May data and will updated until
complete (so some GIFs may not be available).

indexed: 20070 URLs)"
