Fads

As far as my uber-trendy-international-blogging-chick friend is concerned, memes are internet fads.  The term, meme, is rapidly spreading through internet social networks to describe all that which is propagated electronically, and it looks like the revised definition may become pandemic.

Fads: lolcats, All Your Base Are Belong to Us, Star Wars Kid, fashions

Trends: Urban sprawl, dynamic languages, globalization/nationalism

Memes: Regional dialects, object-oriented programming, proverbs, calculus

Items move from the upper, more ephemeral, lists to lower ones over the course of time.

Oh, and it’s jibe, not jive. And quit using myself until you learn when to use it.
