Repost Syndrome

In life people will generally see something, laugh or get amused, then move on. This is understandable. There is generally a period of time that will go by that you can then refresh people with that item. Some will hate it because they will say they have seen it before and can't believe they are bringing it back.

Others will not have seen this item because they are younger or not from that area. On the internet you can see this well in communities were content is posted by the community.

An online community is interesting because it seems as if time is in hyper-drive. You can miss an entire evolution step in less than 24 hours. Some one part of the site may go away, people get pissed, they bring it back all in 24 hours. Sometimes the items last longer and people do get to see it if they visit at least once a day. HOWEVER some people will be super casual users and not come very often and wonder what people are talking about. Sometimes they don't even get there to hear people talk about it but they see it later when someone reposts the item because they themselves have never seen it and thought it was awesome to show off.
