I think this article is referring to the term "memetracker", rather than any particular software. I'm not sure who invented the term, but it has recently been used by bloggers following an article on my blog which attempted to round up some of these services [2]. The name is likely derived from Memeorandum, the most popular memetracker. At the time I wrote the post, I wasn't aware of memetracker.org, although the whois data shows that the domain was registered before the post was written. I don't think I'm in a position to say whether it should be deleted or not (the consensus appears to be that it should). Mashable 20:32, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
