Metameme

I saw the link to Measuring the Speed of a Meme in [livejournal.com profile] vampry's journal on December 1st and am posting to participate only now--in fact, after leaving this entry half finished in the composition window for nearly an hour, although I gather that Livejournal may recently have changed the interface so that entries are timestamped when they post instead of when the post-to-journal window was generated. Even if I'm doing this right and even if it's not already too late, I suspect I'm adding only to the datapoints representing the unspeedy, and yes, this post is as much about the posting of itself as about helping someone as an experiment try to track the propagation of a metameme across the blogosphere. Here's that link again: http://acephalous.typepad.com/acephalous/2006/11/measuring_the_s.html.

So does the existence of page proofs imply a scheduled publication date?

Yes! April 2007. It's preorderable now and everything. :)
