Hello Sanni, I have a paper that just came out in Computers in Human Behavior on this topic. Here's the citation: Guadagno, R. E., Rempala, D. M.,Murphy, S. Q., & Okdie, B. M. (2013). Why do Internet Videos Go Viral? A Social Influence Analysis. *Computers in Human Behavior, 29,* 2312–2319. Let me know if you want a reprint - I didn't want to SPAM the whole listserv Here's my Psychology Today blog post on the topic of Internet memes (note, I need to update that cite): http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/why-people-click/201304/what-makes-video...

Dear all,
I would be interested to know if there are researchers amongst you who would be focusing on memes and/or internet fails (for example lamebook etc.). Also tips about readings on the matter would be highly appreciated. I'm currently planning my PhD studies in folkloristics with the topic of Internet fails, memes and questions of authenticity in online communication.
Thanks!
