This week's poll finds out from our voters whether they have ever used an Internet Meme. From the previous weekly poll result, as a common reason of the existence of Internet Meme, majority view Internet Meme to have a laugh but have they ever used it for their own purpose instead of just viewing it? Surprisingly, yes. Majority of the votes said that they have not used an Internet Meme.

This result shows that many people used Internet Meme for their own personal experience only. They do not share the meme with their friends. Funnily enough, Internet Meme come about because people spread the meme around to their friends and other Internet users. However, this week's result differs.

Taking the tie is "I think so". With 40% of the votes, the voters have utterly no idea whether they have used an Internet Meme before or rather, they have forgotten. This shows that, although there are tons of Internet Memes out there and people are continuing spreading it through the internet, there are people who do not know what the term Internet Meme is.

These people may know for a fact what is LOLCats or Dancing Baby but they do not know that these so-called "phenomenon" is categorized as Internet Meme. It is hard to blame them because people who spread a meme do not tell that it is called an Internet Meme but rather the main purpose is to just spread the meme.

Only a mere 20% of people used Internet Meme. Partly, the voters may be inexperience with the term Internet Meme, therefore, such result is shown. Just like all the memes mention, all Internet Memes are spread through e-mails, social networking sites, chat rooms and so on. It is spread vastly until it becomes known to everyone. And once it is widely known, that Internet Meme can we safely called as a phenomenon.

So Everything Meme readers, have you or have you not used an Internet Meme before?
