That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. :-)

If we could provide a clean snapshot bullet point listing of the date trail of Haiti related PG events with only introductory prose on a post, others would/could make memes from this simple list and dates.

This is a great idea. It also makes it possible to create multi-tweet threads, which are really powerful (see Thomas Wictor as an example). These have the red pill advantage of memes -- each tweet being an individual little "pill" -- yet the serious persuasive power of substantial research articles. I see it as a new persuasive writing genre that has grown from Twitter. Memes fit right into it, as long as you don't overdo it (meme lack substance and therefor can backfire a be experienced as spam).

I'm excited!
