A meme (pronounced /'mi?m/, rhyming with "cream" [1]) is a postulated unit or element of cultural ideas, symbols or practices, and is transmitted from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. (The etymology of the term relates to the Greek word mimema for "something imitated".) [2] Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes, in that they self-replicate and respond to selective pressures. [3] Memeticists have not empirically proven the existence of discrete memes or their proposed mechanism (compare the status of Platonic forms or of concepts such as "ideals"), and memes (as distinct from ideas or cultural phenomena) do not form part of the consensus of mainstream social sciences. The British scientist Richard Dawkins introduced the word "meme" in The Selfish Gene (1976) as a basis for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Examples of memes given in the book included melodies, catch-phrases, beliefs (notably religious beliefs), clothing fashion, and the technology of building arches.[4] Meme-theorists contend that memes evolve by natural selection (in a manner similar to that of biological evolution) through the processes of variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance influencing an individual entity's reproductive success. Memes spread through the behaviors that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse) mutate. Theorists point out that memes which replicate the most effectively spread best, and some memes may replicate effectively even when they prove detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.[5] A field of study called memetics[6] arose in the 1990s to explore the concepts and transmission of memes in terms of an evolutionary model. Criticism from a variety of fronts has challenged the notion that scholarship can examine memes empirically. Some commentators question the idea that one can meaningfully categorize culture in terms of discrete units.

22. How To Build The Ultimate In Word of Mouth Marketing -- Memes
October 04, 2007
Memes are a self-replicating virus of the mind that can empower your future success or dethrone it. Memes pass along from person to person and just as genes replicate in an organism, so do memes.
Where did Memes come from? Memes were first introduced by Richard Dawkins, an Oxford University Biologist. In 1976, he published a book, “The Unselfish Gene” which explains how a meme (rhymes with gene) is similar to its biological cousin, the gene, and argued that a meme is “the basic unit of cultural transmission within a society” implicating memes as a self-replicating organism that influe...

We’ve all had it happen. We’re pushing for a sale, really laying down the work and convincing a customer that our car, our prices, are the best deal they’ll ever get. We’re being honest and fair, trying to help the customer out, even disregarding the fact that we probably won’t make a buck of profit on this one. That today we probably will lose our shirt and maybe even our pants. But today we don’t care. Today we’ll go shirtless and profitless because today we’re focusing on the customer and selling him/her this amazing vehicle that we just know will enhance their lives, their jobs—heck, their...
