social forwarding.

I'd been searching for a term that more accurately described the process of peer to peer meme propagation regardless of the network or service through which it spreads. Eventually I settled on the term "social forwarding" and started throwing it into conversations here and there over the past year or two, and I still haven't heard it used very much.

So now I've resorted to blogging about it.

Social forwarding. Sounds good, doesn't it? You should use it. ;)
