Christopher “moot” Poole: The case for anonymity online
http://www.ted.com The founder of 4chan, a controversial, uncensored online imageboard, describes its subculture, some of the Internet “memes” it has launched, and the incident in which its users managed a very public, precision hack of a mainstream media website. The talk raises questions about the power — and price — of anonymity.

“Richard Dawkins, the man who coined the phrase pretty much, had this to say
“We need a name for the new replicator … a unit of imitation. ‘Mimeme’ comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like ‘gene’. … abbreviate mimeme to meme. … It should be pronounced to rhyme with ‘cream’.”
