====An Internet Meme is a concept that has the ability to spread quickly weather from person to person or over the internet. It can take 1 day to create and no more than one hour to spread. Most people do not realize the amount of power that internet meme’s or even the internet itself has. A random gossip or political bashing between 2 twitter users can turn into a scandal and become a trending topic. Unfortunately, celebrities and politician have experience the kind of damage it results to.====

====Menczer’s “Truthy” uses “Crowd sourcing” to help users identify how truthy a meme is, by allowing users to vote. This has a problem: It does not stop the creators of the “false meme” from creating fake ID’s and voting that their meme is 100% truth.====

====Internet users have to be careful of the information they access. Seeing something on the internet does not automatically make it true. Voters especially have to have in mind that politics is a battle and there is always false information everywhere.====
