Brett Trout hosts Blawg Review #148 at BlawgIT. This week’s theme is the meme.

Memes are units of cultural information transmitted virally from one individual to the next. Blogs provide an ideal culture medium for memes to thrive in, since bloggers disseminate memes widely, inviting other bloggers to comment on them and pass them along in turn. Memes are in essence the blogosphere’s equivalent of chain letters — like a chain letter, the recipient must respond in a designated way, then pass the invitation along to others.

Be sure to catch this highly entertaining edition of Blawg Review, the weekly review of the best in legal blogging. And like any meme, spread it widely.
