Judy, from online dictionary: meme is an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture. I was using it in the sense of an idea. Salyavin knew what I meant so my usage seems correct. For me, any idea that one MUST do something, especially something as innocuous as join a social media, is scary because it suggests that we humans aren't as developed as I like to think. I have never heard nor do I believe that anyone "MUST" join FB. It is hardly special or unique in any way. Many never go near the place. I got encouraged to join by my niece who feels it's a great way to share pics and events. Some go crazy and post all sorts of inappropriate stuff that will come back to haunt them later - or not. It can be a hoot to read some of the stuff on there. On Friday, February 21, 2014 1:54 PM, "authfriend@..." <authfriend@...> wrote: FWIW, that isn't a "meme" I've ever heard or read. And if you did encounter it, I can't imagine why you'd find it scary rather than just silly. I wouldn't join Facebook if you paid me.
