meme experiments

This interesting Wired article describes some experiments around meme transmission.

Networks are the medium of meme transmission, this much seems obvious, but not much else is well understood about meme formation and transmission, except perhaps by advertisers, and they aren't telling.

It's good to see experimental memology, being practiced on the web. Maybe the methodology needs to be clarified. Double blind experiments would be difficult on the public network, but there's a good chance we'll learn something useful from meme experimentation.

The essence of this mission is for us to be clear thinking about business and change. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.

Each of the partners in Perceptric has been extremely successful in their chosen field by working this way. More than theory we each know it works.

As a company we work with our clients in the United States, Asia and Pacific regions, including Australia, to maximize their opportunities in an ever accelerating change environment.
