Great Idea: The Memetic Web

November 11, 2005 Blog No Comments

Peter Moreville recently announced the concept of the Memetic Web on his weblog, Findability.org. It’s such a simple, yet powerful concept that it just may change the way we “find” information on the web.

The sales pitch for memography and its anticipated byproduct, the Memetic Web is oustanding! Here’s a snippet from a recent announcement about memography to get you interested.

Imagine that we had a way of simply tagging meaning in web pages. We could call the units of meaning memes to borrow Richard Dawkins’ analogy that ideas evolve just like our genes. And we could give each meme a globally unique identifier – its pseudo DNA, the virtual analog of the new RFID that promises someday to identify every physical object on the planet.

Intriuged? There’s more. Much more. You can learn about memes and the Memetic Web here. And, you can join the discussion of memes by participating in the development of memeticweb.org

Find out how easy it is to create a meme, learn how memes work and why aboutness is so important to the Memetic Web. Explore the science of memography. Discover how memes can help us provide near perfect search precision.

Read Moreville’s latest book, Ambient Findability— the inspiration behind the Memetic Web.
