The term "meme" was coined by Richard Dawkins in his famous title "Selfish Gene" (published in 1976). During conversations we exchange memes without conscious effort. (The science of meme is called Memetics and consult wikipedia page for knowing more )
Some time back , I coined a term "Meme Injection" to describe a phenomena where some one will talk about things which might intrigue us and we will drift away from the current area of interest. What it will bring to us through serendipity is the only matter of solace.
I had posted about a presentation which i was planning to take at an event. The talk is about how we can mix C# , C++ and C++/CLI in a single program.
A guy by the name Anoop Madhusudhanan replied to that by mentioning about Polyglot Programming. For the next half and hour , i enjoyed articles regarding this. ( I am a true Polyglot ! ) He has injected a meme in me.
