How fast do memes and news spread on so-called social websites and the realtime web?

Here’s a quote that has been spreading lately on twitter.com and facebook.com:

The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.

This quote was published 7 years ago @ salon.com. I guess if we measure history in eons, 7 years might be considered to be “realtime”?
