Berkman Center folks sure made a good investment when they granted Dave Winer a fellowship.  He is making news, experimenting, and rousing people (see Dan Bricklin's pictures of Dave's first Harvard weblogger meeting).  He is not only infecting smart people with the blog meme, but pulling them into close enough proximity, both physically and virtually, to make things happen.

When you catch a meme, you are pregnent with a mixture of the original meme and your interpretation of the meme.  Over the incubation period, you feed your lifespan of thoughts and experiences into it.  Someday, these people will crack open and start infecting others with their own variation of the original meme.  So the faces in Dan's pictures are carriers.  Scary, huh?
