Someone did the work I wanted to… well, sorta wanted to…
Here’s a decent set of data about one of the latest internet ‘memes’, 25 Things.
Still, viral marketers might take note of the patterns that “25 Random Things About Me” obeyed. The best hope for someone looking to start a grass-roots craze is to introduce a wide variety of schemes into the wild and pray like hell that one of them evolves into a virulent meme. If evolution is any guide, however, there’s no predicting what succeeds and what doesn’t. Just look at the platypus.
A decent non-conclusion, and probably accurate.
