Memes on Facebook

Every time I the words "only my true friends..." on a Facebook status, I cringe.  It's not that I don't care about animal shelters (look at my vet bills, I definitely do), people with cancer/MS/ADD/dyslexia, missing children, or the like, but in my mind a great cause is demeaned when reduced to a meme Facebook status.


This is a great study conducted by a researcher at the University of Michigan on the characteristics of Facebook memes.  It's humorous and insightful too.

Are you a memer?
