During the last three months, as you know, I have been involved in putting forth three very successful meme "Why do you Blog?", "New Year's Resolution", and "Big Bang", with the Big Bang being the best by far, with 500 sites and still growing. I have learned quite a bit about what goes into a meme and how to make them successful. 1. Linking memes need a loop-back process so that everyone benefits. That means that the creator has to put in a lot of time and effort. Just putting out the meme and letting it go in many directions has the effect of being a pyramid scheme where only the few at the beginning benefit without putting any effort into it. 2. Tagging - I do not like a rule that forces someone to tag other sites. Tagging should be an option, not a condition. 3. Fun memes are different. Memes that generate some insight into the author or are just plain fun are very different.
Anyway I don't think anyone wants to get tagged by me right now. And if I do additional tags it would be to grow the Big Bang to 1,000 sounds.

I meant 1,000 sites.
