Curiosecond

curiosecond \ˈkyu̇r-ēˌō-se-kənd\
noun.
the amount of time that elapses between one putting a blog link as one's IM status message and getting the first hit on the blog.

Though there has been no thorough study conducted on this topic, and though the values of a curiosecond depend on a number of factors, the very lowest values a curiosecond are undeniably observed in the middle of an exam season.

And, right about now, it reached its lowest value ever, owing, probably, to an acute Hey-it's-Valentine's-Day-and-I-have-nothing-better-to-do-so-let's-click-this-link syndrome.
