There are many types of memes on the Internet such as blogging memes (Passion Quilt Meme has a been a recent popular one) and viral videos. From this video, there are a number of video excerpts that have become viral, pass on through blogs and emails, and copied, imitated, etc. that they are known widely throughout the internet. Lynch's book "Thought Contagion" is a good read on memetics, or check out the wikipedia post on memetics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memetics Cheers Dave. Hey Dave,
