Blogospherus

I’m not sure exactly what it proves, but a French blog is “scientifically” testing the blogosphere by tracking the spread of an unannounced post, released 16 November on Thierry Crouzet’s blog about “le peuple des connecteurs.”

La blogosphère est-elle un mythe?
Quelle puissance virale est la sienne ?

Existe-t-elle ailleurs que dans l’imaginaire de quelques papes des blogs ?

La blogosphère a-t-elle pour seule demeure Technorati ?

Blogospherus est créé pour tester la réactivité de la blogosphère, comme une expérience scientifique.

Combien de temps faudra-t-il pour fédérer les blogs de la blogosphère ?

It appears rightreading is the first English-language blog to pick this up. (I got it through Chroniques patagones, quoted in the extract above.) Will it (or should it) spread anywhere from here?

I guess this is the equivalent of casting a message in a bottle into the sea and seeing if anyone responds. Does it have any meaning beyond that? Stay tuned, or get more information, at blogospherus.net (in French).
