Social Media Marketing Blog: Facebook Memology for 2009!

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Facebook is introducing the world to Memology.  And what's memology again? Defined by Facebook "Memology" refers to the study of how "memes," or new ideas and trends, are spreading on Facebook."
 
So Facebook took all the status updates and trending words to come up with its 2009 list. The graph below shows the Top 15 Facebook status trends for 2009

Facebook Applications: If you are on Facebook, you would know that this one is no surprise. Lots of people love Facebook applications like Farmville, Farmtown, etc.

Hmmm FML, enough said! Since people want to share so much about their personal lives, that one is also no surprise.
 
Twitter is number 10 which I guess is a surprise. Why would that be a top trending word is beyond me.

The others I understand except for perhaps FB. I'm trying to think what possible statuses would include the word FB on Facebook? Weird!

Anyway, we learned a new word today, or at least I did. Memology! Kinda has a nice ring to it.
