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?
I will admit, I have a semi-secret obsession with Chemistry Cat memes. But I don't publicly pin them on Pinterest, so I still have my pride. That's what "liking" is for.
