[liberationtech] meme tracking methods

[Deen Freelon]

A recent memetracking study by Leskovec, Backstrom, and Kleinberg was 
profiled in the NYT awhile back. Here's a link to the actual paper:

You also may be interested in the Berkman Center's Media Cloud 
application (http://www.mediacloud.org/) which may do some of what you 
want. ~DEEN
