To begin, let the origin of the term. The first use of it was by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene. The name was a contraction of the Greek-old mimeme, which means something like "imitation."Dawkins called memes that which, in analogy to the genes, the minimum unit of informational transmission between generations.But while genetics refers to the physical characteristics of the individual and on a larger scale, the evolution of a species, the meme is a unit of culture that will define the cultural evolution (if we talk about culture, we talk about human now). While the spread of genes occurs in the Chaka Chaka butchaca, his "brothers cultural" spread through books, words, artifacts and other information content.
With a viral culture of the Internet, began to call things meme that spread through cyberspace, which were mainly those with some humorous content. For the researcher Rachel Recuero, this small unit of culture is a large cage on the web for study and observation because it is persistent, storing and repeating the information several times, and allow for her fidelity, to have this information reproduced in the same way than the original. This all means that the meme is a small and yet significant piece of culture that can spread through cyberspace by faithful repetition of its own content.
Recuero still puts that in the social network, the meme is passed on by individuals for some reason, some gain to any value, what she calls social capital. These social capital are the answers given by those in the network of contacts "repassing" the content. If the meme is humor, the desired response is laughter and recognition of followers. If it is more serious, political, the reward is the agreement of the transmitter network. And so on. As I said in Orkutiza me!, Everybody wants to appear in cyberspace and that is what motivates the memetic propagation. The simple fact that I'm writing this blog assumes that you will read and love me rssssss
You've taken to get an idea of why the meme is to call it. So let's now see some types of this phenomenon in the context of the Internet.

Facts about China
Alone, China has twice as many people than the whole of Europe. 1.2 billion people, this is the estimated number of people (people registered) by the last Census. One in five inhabitants of the planet lives in China, a fifth of the world. If the world were a single street, one in four of its neighbors would be Chinese. If you lived in China at this time would be sharing the room it occupies in your house with 7 people. Because of overcrowding, each couple can have only one child. But if the first is a girl, one can try again. With nearly 3,000 km long, the Great Wall of China, only work done by the man who can be seen from space, was begun in 200 BC and 2200 years now full of life. Its construction involved more than one million people, many of whom died there. Your majesty begins and ends by visual in practice, because in some parts of its outsize stairs, the visitor can only climb the stairs on all fours with hands on the floor. Li and Lee (English form) is the most common family name in the world. In China alone there are 87 million of them.
