What makes the internet great, in my mind, isn't so much the services you can access online, isn't so much online news or even education. It's the stuff around the edges, the odd and sometimes magical forms of self-expression, that the internet enables. The more popular of these end up as internet memes, and through them you see glimpses into humanity no media has ever been able to capture. As Alan Levine points out, Flickr is particularly good at spreading memes. But the stories have been with us since the beginning, and I hope they never go away.
