The Pirillo Effect, coined by Mike Flynn (hellyeahbitch.com | "The Pirillo Effect", Mike Coins "The Prillo Effect") states that if you say Chris Pirillo's name at least three times in your article or on your blog, Chris will appear and comment in some fashion. The effect was later referenced, although incorrectly sourced, in a Seattle Times article.
