We're just meme machines

I thorougly recommend that anyone interested in understanding the future of the blogosphere take time to listen to this talk by Dr. Susan Blackmore from The Future of Ideas session at Pop!Tech. Ever since listening to it last night I can't stop framing my own predictions of where things are going in terms of memetics. Its truly fascinating stuff and I've already added a few books on the topic to my Amazon wish list.

Thank you IT Conversations - you've turned up trumps again.

Sue Blackmore is great. I met her a while back at a talk in London. She's sceptical about all the nonsense that is, er, memetically perpetuating itself and very friendly to boot. Her talk at Pop Tech was one of my favourites (although the guy with Found Magazine was also excellent).
