Trends

My buddy Phillip collects Google Trends... you can explore them here -- up to the minute trend-surfing -- but you can also see the big list of trends as well:

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.
