>David Ng at The World’s Fair published a blog on October 23, 2007 in which he proposed a Google meme. He called it “‘I rank number one on google’ meme!!”

This is what he proposed:

I’d like to suggest a meme, where the premise is that you will attempt to find 5 statements, which if you were to type into google (preferably google.com, but we’ll take the other country specific ones if need be), you’ll find that you are returned with your blog as the number one hit.

David’s proposal has spread throughout the blogsphere. I have collected a few of the sites that have accepted David’s challenge. The sites are listed according to the dates of their posts.
