    Okay, this might be taking social media to a whole new level...and I'm not sure it's such a good thing. If she read any of the posts from this class, she probably should have stopped at 150.

    I was quick to believe that a person would actually do this. I just shows that people will believe something just because it's online!

    I can haz meme? I like this article, especially since it covers Rickrolling. You know, this is a good article to share with my parents--I'm a member of lots of communities, and it's hard to explain memes like LOLcats and Rickrolling to them. It's like a different culture, and sometimes I'm at a loss to explain it. I have to say that it's a bit weird to see this from an academic perspective. By the way, you've been posting a lot of articles like these. Where are you finding them?

    Hey, sorry I didn't see this comment sooner! I'm on a few google groups about memes so I get a lot of articles through them, as well as following twitter accounts of academics studying the lulz. This one, I think I just found it on google scholar while looking for sources for my final project.

    Jay Smooth nails the "no homo" meme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7nCB8aiXD4)....and explains that as fun as it is to "play the game," just don't do it.

    I thought about giving my cats their own FB page, but if they got more friends than me I would be very disturbed by that!

    I met a woman who owned 2 mastiffs in a petstore. One of her dogs was so popular (he was a therapy dog) that he indeed DOES have his own fb page: http://www.facebook.com/people/Quincy-Mastiff-March/100001660537460 At first I a bit weirded out but then it really started to make sense because this does seriously has a following and she uses his personality to teach kids about animals, connect with folks for whom he's used as therapy dog, etc. It actually turned out to be really interesting! And WOW, that dog is really one of the most gorgeous, kind beasts (and this boy is HUGE) I've ever met.

    And...that dog has WAY more Facebooks friends than me...sigh. But, I am okay with that. At least he's doing something great. :o)

    My cousin's cat, Ben, has a FB page and so does my sister-in-laws dog. Ben's so popular around our town (he just wanders) that half the town is friends with him. I think its a bit wierd, but I find it highly entertaining when I get FB posts and messages from Pepper the dog.

    I never heard of this and had to look it up myself to believe it. It is a bit strange, but definitely entertaining.

    https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001827272353 That's the FB page for our dog Nanook - friend him if you'd like. My younger son started the page; he's kind of protective of the house and barks a lot so I find it amusing that my kids' friends wanted to be friends with him.
