The Tracking of Memes
Earlier today I sent an IM to a friend of mine pointing to the Threadless t-shirt that spoofed the infamous goatse picture that is widely known to most people who live and breathe the Internet. I laughed. My friend did not get it. I pointed him to a Google Image search for "goatse" (warning: NSFW!) and he then understood. This led me to think about all of the various sites I visit on a regular basis to gather up-to-the-minute news and emerging memes. Below is a short list:
- Populicious
- Trendilicious
- Technorati Breaking News
- eBay Pulse
- Google News
- Google Zeitgeist
- BlogDex
- DayPop's Top 40
- Memepool
- MetaFilter
Feel free to add your own in the coments and I'll update this list.
