One of the things I've found interesting about it is that the extremely 
rapid creation and propagation of memes allowed by the internet has led 
(so it seems to me) to a change is the style of the memes.  In

macros) seem to have a really high fitness in this sort of environment, 
and you seem them everywhere.
