Very technical but insightful discussion on "memes". Memes are trends in thinking that spread like wildfire among communities. In the internet community we've had "all your base are belong to us", OWNED, FAIL, ORLY, and many many others. Learn what makes them successful. Social media and social networking has thrown gasoline to the meme organic social 'fire'.

Maybe you can make ADULT content that proliferates among a niche audience?

Put another way--"riding" a meme has many domain name, traffic, and other web-based possibilities.

I started the "raise the roof" back in the 90's..

d-null · 04-12-2009, 07:11 PM

I thought memes are now mainly tested and either rejected or spread through the collective wisdom of "anon" at 4chan or SA or ytmnd

4chan does take a large chunk of the meme generation capacity of the Net. However, memes arise from many demographic groups and spread to differing groups.

That word gets thrown around far to often and... well, let me just start by saying... memes aren't what they used to be. And that is not a compliment.

True. They are getting more diffuse and fragmentary.

See that is where you are wrong and where I stated the word gets thrown around to much. It has gained popular use in the last several years with very few knowing the definition or significance behind the term.

Memes are "cultural ideas, symbols or practices, that gets transmitted from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena"

It DOES NOT define "any idea", it must go further than that.
