[Air-L] Research on memes and internet fail sites

[Rosanna Guadagno]

Hello Sanni,

I have a paper that just came out in Computers in Human Behavior on this
topic. Here's the citation:

Guadagno, R. E., Rempala, D. M.,Murphy, S. Q., & Okdie, B. M. (2013). Why
do Internet Videos Go Viral? A Social Influence Analysis. *Computers in
Human Behavior, 29,* 2312–2319.

Let me know if you want a reprint - I didn't want to SPAM the whole listserv

Here's my Psychology Today blog post on the topic of Internet memes (note,
I need to update that cite):

Best,

Rosanna
