Meme (n.) is a term coined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, in his explanation of how concepts, thoughts, learned behaviors (or, er...your brand), etc., self-replicate throughout a culture like a virus. The good news (for you!): The creation of online systems of transmission (MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia), with their myriad channels for exposure—and resulting adoption and mutations—has exponentially sped up meme transmissions. We hardly need to rattle off the interminable list of Internet celebs who've "gone viral" to appreciate that success online is imminently achievable—and luckily (for most of us), it has nothing to do with talent, at least in the traditional sense.

Brilliant once again. Thank you Julia Allison. Not only do you dominate the "meme;" you are the definition. You make it all look effortless, yet your passion and hard work do not go unnoticed.
You inspire me and intrigue me. Thanks for the article, I always wondered how you made it happen.

Julia, I've given you a lot of flak over the past few months, but truth be told: you fascinate me. You annoy me, you make me laugh, but at the end of the day - you ARE interesting.
Now my question to you that will be obvious: what do you sell exactly? And isn't it a LOT easier if you look as pretty as you are?
