Speaking of timeliness...

Via Neatorama via Charles Arthur's technology blog at blogs.guardian.co.uk...

This is a Meme Timeline (a meme being a "unit of thinking" that spreads through a population) created by BK G and posted at http://www.dipity.com/user/tatercakes/timeline/Internet_Memes

Say, for example, that you can't remember when the OK Go treadmill video came out...

or when Bush started referring to "the internets" or "the Google"...

or when the SNL "Cowbell" clip went viral...

or when people started mixing Diet Coke and Mentos...

The timeline will tell you. And every item links to the meme - whether it's a video or an image or a website - and gives a brief description.

So if you've heard of "The Evolution of Dance" but never seen it, look no further!

BK G also had the super-cool notion that anyone could contribute an entry by going to the host site (http://www.dipity.com/user/tatercakes/timeline/Internet_Memes) and clicking on "Add an Event"

As time killers go, this one is huge!
