Word of mouth fun : brrreeeport
Bang on the heels of the Dotster word of blog comes another meme; If you go over to Technorati, you’ll see the top search as being “Brrreeeport”. And a whole bunch of blogs linking about it.
So what’s a Brrreeeport? A neat definition proposed here; It seems to have started off with this post on Robert Scoble’s blog; Or was it this post on Geeknewscentral?
Either way, it’s fascinating to watch how this is growing, and the reactions of other bloggers.
Yves Roumazeilles thinks it’s silly, but works anyway.
Other blog posts jumping on the bandwagon, without knowing what this is about (Hint : do a blog search).
A tongue in cheek “lemming” dismissal by the Discriminating Omnivore (I come not to praise the brrreeeport, but to bury it?)
Or Jon Walker “Can I cash in on some of the Scoble mojo? Even if I don’t regularly read his blog anymore?” Ditto, Jon - let’s see how well it works.
So here goes :
Technorati tag : brrreeeport
And if you did come here through Technorati, welcome, and look around. The most read posts around here have been
Climbing an Elongating Tail and the related Google fun
The Economics of being poor
Eat Cake - a discussion on the “buy or rent a home” question.
Hope you enjoy these.

Yes, I think this is a silly experience. But I admit this is funny enough for me to participate.
I wonder whether the word will be really reaching stardom or if it will be only a matter of weeks before it disappears and nobody remembers we tried to bring it to an exceptionnal level.
