Indiana Casey And The Shape Of Memes To Come
I defined five types of memetic bandwidth. "In denial" bandwidth actively avoids a particular meme. Imagine you're at an elegant party and somebody drops a horse turd on the carpet. Many guests will look the other way and pretend to not notice. That's an "in denial" meme.
We probably can't prove that an "in denial meme" exists but we can generate empirical suspicion.
Let's try IAmFacingForeclosure.com as an example. Time-series graphs from Alexa.com and blogpulse.com imply that IAmFacingForeclosure.com's pageviews have peaked out. Notice the converging series. Each new high and low is converging towards a steady-state traffic level - (my annotations are in red)
Casey and his site show up in my own tool, too (barely) -
But Casey doesn't show up...
in Google's Trends AT ALL. Fascinating. Google is the most widely-used search tool on the Internet, but there's not much searching for "Casey Serin" or "IamFacingForeclosure.com".
What does this mean?
Is there a general aversion here?
We can see through blogpulse.com and dejanews.com that people ARE discussing Casey's plight but rarely search for him in Google. I'd class this as an "in denial" meme, it's the first example which has some level of (admittedly questionable) proof.
