Digg and Reddit Augment Memetic Outbreaks 1

I’ve been noticing a trend between the memediggers such as Digg and Reddit and memetrackers such as Tailrank and Memeorandum.The memediggers occasionally (and often) cause an outbreak in a meme which arose a few months back but that might be popular in a community which hasn’t yet seen it (or developed an intellectual antibody).I just was on Reddit and noticed that they were promoting two stories on their home page.

I get far more traffic from memeorandum than I do from TailRank and I am an early big fan of Gabe Rivera, but I think they’re losing the memetracking battle and it’s a matter of time before people switch.
