You can see it better, as well as add more hits (wiki-style) here. And internet memes are questionnaires that people tag each other to do. These are fads or hits, not memes.

I disagree, internet memes are just ideas replicated. "The internets" is a good example that's on there. They don't have to be questionnaires.

My understanding of the word 'meme' is that it is something reproduced and copied over and over within a community. That can refer to those questionairres OR to videos, images, and the like. Rickrolling or saying 'DO NOT WANT' are also memes. It's a hard word to define, but I know one when I see one.
