INTERESTING BLOGS
Some Thoughts on Having Photographs Go Viral on the Internet – for many, the notion of having your work go viral is the cornucopia that will lead to untold fame and riches.

This is a very interesting blog post that discusses this phenomenon, and at the very least will leave the reader with a series of questions that are well worth looking at.
