Prototype Ideas

Pushing Memes

1. Push an unpopular blog or site 
how: click on it thousands of time to see if it catches on
monitor flow of other people’s visit

ex: yahoo homepage blog

 clicks today: 54094
 total:278729
 
 Info flow: how things become mainstream

2. Meme Tags

- favorite videos
- shoes
- pets
- meaningful numbers
- collectables
- good deeds (negative and shocking memes spread more easily -> gain immediate response) –have a blog area for people to post good things they have done and allow other people to applaud them and see things that they can do to help as well

Visualization

1. make a peice of work that illustration how info is sent and spread on the net
-> front view: one piece of info
-> side view: pieces of packages that are separated and spread out

Info is split into little packages when moving from one place to another and reassembled when it reaches there 

2. Show how meme spread throughout the net through repetition and mutation

Original idea is making a physical object that has different website frames images and images that mutate as it moves along different. May be interesting represent something virtual in physical form.

Another option is making a website of it that has actual videos of memes and showcase how memes are repeated, spread, and mutate.
