Every bastard say "Brrreeeport" on his blog

The object of this post is to see how long before search engines and trackers (such as Technorati and Google Blog Search) pick up new tags on the blogsphere...

Kind of a Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds moment - the brrreeeport internet meme.

Blame this guy - Robert Scoble. What started it all was the following text last week (14 February) from Scobleizer's blog:
"Here, let's play a game. Everyone in the world say 'brrreeeport' on your blog and you'll be listed on this Technorati page automatically. Heh. There are also no pages on the Internet linked to for that term on Google, Yahoo, or MSN."

Since then Google has indexed 57,000 references to brrreeeport. (That was written Saturday...I checked Google Sunday morning and there were 65,100 entries for brrreeeport.)

A suggested definition from redcouch is:
Brrreeeport! (noun). The weather news from Antartica, the North Pole or any other frigid zone.

Go to Technorati for more crap on this. Or just go So what?.
