I mean everytime there is an earthquake, a flood, an oil spill - there's always a group of heartless people who rip off tax payers. This is in response to reading that 4 of Oprah Winfreys "angels" got busted ripping off the system.

So polymeme is basically automating what people are already doing with their bookmarks, and lists of favorite news feeds. There is a silver lining though: there should be IMO a "serendpity factor" added to the mix, to "expose" readers to information they have not themselves selected or filtered out. Kinda like the genius function on iTunes, although more open to external recommendations.
