Can I break the internet with an infinite social feedback loop?

Posted on February 28, 2008 by bob hitching

Thought for the day… if my Facebook status is updated by my Twitter feed, or Jaiku, and gets reported in my Plaxo Pulse, which is spotted by my FriendFeed, which sends an update to Twitter, which updates my Facebook status again, can I somehow create an infinite social feedback loop and crash the internet?
