Sorry. At first sight, MemeticsFlowers did seem way over the top. So if I
get you right you would consider a webpage as an attractive flower-like sort
of organ which has attributes making it a facilitator of the spread of
memetic pollen or something like that? Websites have anthers/filaments
and/or stigma/styles/ovaries so to speak? Are we kinda like pollinators
then? The websites have nifty colors and designs which bring us in to their
clutches?
I'm having a vision of a male "wasp" being duped by a memetic orchid...OK
I'll not go there. That's more risque than the round and waggle dance as
means of communicating whereabouts of nearby memetic flowers.
