Fascinating graphic portrayal of how the meme, "Jobs not Mobs" spread through the Web. Very cool!

Thanks. I stand corrected.

Exactly how I feel

The NY Times can generate a time line for slogans on the internet? I doubt they have that capability. They can go through Sarah Palins trash for weeks but they don’t have the capacity to trace multiple posts through multiple servers. If they did, then why don’t they have Hillary’s emails? This was the product of someone in the swamp with a lot of technical wherewithal.

I actually agree with this... i suspect someone else generated the data and they wrote an article about it. I doubt they have the ability to do this directly... who knows for sure.
