Web Meme History

A working record of social media history and internet culture, written for people who have to make the decision rather than read about it. Every figure is dated and sourced.

What we cover

Web Meme History covers social media history and internet culture: web, meme, history.

How we work

Articles are written to be useful to someone actually doing the thing: specific, checkable, and honest about what varies by situation. Where a piece touches regulated work, it says so rather than implying the reader can skip a professional.

We correct mistakes rather than quietly editing them away. If a correction changes the substance of a piece, the article says what changed.

Following along

Every article appears in the RSS feed, which is the best way to follow the site without an account or a newsletter.
