"In this sense, doge really is the next generation of LOLcat, in terms of a pet-based snapshot of a certain era in internet language."

"We’ve kept the idea that animals speak like an exaggerated version of an internet-savvy human, but as our definitions of what it means to be a human on the internet have changed, so too have the voices that we give our animals. Wow."

His or her "certain era" sucks.

What matters, what's most important to me, is coming up with a beginning (and all other text) to the ending of my book's tittle ": A Doggy's Tail Tale."

My son was telling me about this yesterday. My first thought was, "It should be spelled 'doag'; 'doge' is the elected leader of Italian city-states such as Venice." I just googled it, and the current usage is the first several hits. Sigh.

Much Althouse. Very blog. Such relevant. Wow.

I agree that doge does capture a very narrow snapshot of the net. Even down to the obsession over bitcoin, with dogecoin. History isn't kind to these microhistories, though. Today's doge is tomorrow's reaction guys or nyan cat.

The problem is that "doge" is the result of racist charisture (making fun of Asian misunderstanding English) while LOLcats were not.
