Memed is the past-tense verb form of meme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme), which is usually a noun. In this case, I was asking if you wanted to play this "game" - the topic of this thread. If so, you'd be helping to spread this meme.

Frienditto was a social networking (past-tense; after thirty seconds of googling, it appears Frienditto has died) that allowed people to archive LJ and Craigslist entries that they could see. So say User A has been friended by User B. Anything that User A could see, they could copy to Frienditto's server archive. That meant that User B's friends-locked entry could be copied to a public server.

However this functionality can be implemented by anyone who has mastered Copy-and-Paste; the internet is basically made to share information. The Frienditto problem was largely that it automated the feature, as well as casually breaking an author's copyright.

Here's an interesting take on it:
