Five things: Epilogue
So I've finally completed the five things you didn't know about me meme, and I've gone and twisted the rules of the game laid down by Jeff Pulver when he started the whole thing. The reason is simple: people I know are either blogless, or would ignore the request.
If I read your blog, and you're feeling left out, then apparently I misjudged your character, at which point you may go ahead and consider yourself tagged.
I was curious about the history of my tag, since there's a large element of social networking involved behind blog tagging.
Here's a brief history of my tag:
- Me: with part one
- Scott (Prae): “Tag, you’re it.”
- James: “5 Things You May Not Know About Me”
- Tony: “Damn rusty and his 5 things!” (incomplete social link)
- Rusty: “"Five Things" meme from Pia Waugh”
- Pia Waugh: “Five things”
- Allison Randal: “Five Things”
- Tom Marble: “Five Things ” (Sun Microsystems employee)
- Alexis: “Five things”
- Rich Sharples: “Tagged, five things ...”
- Masood Mortazavi: “Tagged”
- Roberto Chinnici: “Five things”
- Marc Hadley: “Five things”
- Gerald Beuchelt: “Five”
- Pat Patterson: “Five Short Things About Pat” (Last of the Sun employees)
- Eve Maler: “The five-things virus”
- Tim: “Five Things” (Oh wait; another Sun employee)
- Ugo Cei: “Five things you didn't know about me”
- Gianugo Rabellino: “ 5 things you don’t know about me”
- Yoav: “Five Things”
- Jim Jagielski: “Ten Things Minus 5”
- Sam Ruby: “Five Things”
- Jim Winstead Jr.: “5 things you didn’t know about me”
- Dave Bullock: “5 Things You Didn't Know About Me”
- Green LA Girl: “Green LA Girl censored in Buenos Aires!”
- Ivan Enviroman: “Five things you didn’t know about me”
- Tara Hunt: “Tagged: 5 things”
Beyond that, it enters the world of professional bloggers — splitting off to two incoming tags (and more). They're mostly boring American marketeering (sīc) types, and they don't deserve my links. From the looks of it they've mostly tagged each other, anyway, as I've seen many articles with multiple incoming tags; I saw one with more than six incoming tags.
Interestingly, my post is the only one in that list to serialise it, and one of very few who actually bother to explain more than twenty words per item.
Maybe someone will write a bot to track the phenomenon. Maybe not.
Personally, I don't think I care any more.
