Rather, they are mediating mechanisms via which cultural practices are originated, adopted and (sometimes) retained within social networks.” (Burgess, 2008)

My fellow students all felt as one, i spoke to people on my course that i haven’t ever spoke to, making me think that the Shake is a good thing. ‘Of course it’s a good thing’, i hear you say, true, it is. I have never seen something on the internet bring so many people together for such a bad joke (obviously at the songs expense). Making me think, who came up with this simply elegant and almost impervious idea?

Firstly, you’ll be relieved to know that you have nothing to worry about in terms of data security – there have been no breaches of security. I can’t say any more at the moment as I’ve been sworn to secrecy, so I need you to trust me on this. What I do know is that this is going somewhere good – amazing in fact. I don’t know much more at this stage, and I’m not sure I’m going to be told. Anyway, let’s chat about it tomorrow – remember the feedback session 3-5 in 3.34! See you tomorrow. This is crazy – but ace. Helen
