Check out this article on The Cure for Information Overload that came my way. I know it has helped me get some perspective on the glut of information out there.

Looks to me like its a kind of meme. Each new person in the line makes the link in their own post lead to the one where they found it. They all appear to be genuine weblogs, and the links lead to specific posts within them so nothing else is displayed. Presumably if you keep clicking long enough you'd get back to a first post, but I have no idea how far back in the series it would go. I clicked links for close to ten minutes without reaching a prime post.
Actually, if you go deep enough, you find that they made a ring, and you start looping. You have to go about 30 or 40 links in though. Once enough of them formed the first part, other people got in and were able to chain out from there. At some point the end of the line repoints the link to the new longer chain, making a bigger loop.
Actually, it looks to me like none of these are "real" blogs: if you dig into them, they all have just the single entry. Instead, I suspect that one person went to an impressive amount of effort, setting up several dozen blogs for this one joke. My hat's off to them...
