I guess I was less thinking about how this would really benefit me. I have noticed some traffic from the tag tree and if it brings a new reader to me that’s great. What was more interesting to me was just seeing how we’re all connected in the blogosphere and seeing how quickly an idea can travel from blog to blog.

Yeah, I guess. The key point here is interest, not link bait, though (hard to see who benefits from this linking, really, except leser known bloggers, who appreciate the traffic from the Its).

Now if I can come up with something more interesting than this..Hmm.

Don’t be sad. Perhaps someone I tagged will now tag you. Actually I saw that Stoney had been tagged by someone else a few hours before I had tagged him and has responded to that tag. So I’ll happily switch his name over to yours later today when I’m publishing another post.

Yuri, I think the fact that not all taggers are being tracked only shows how well the blogosphere can spread things virally.

I keep seeing this everywhere, and yet it hasn’t reached me yet. That makes me sad.

The blog tree that you may be referring to doesn’t track all the taggers.

Searching for “things you didn’t know about” won’t reveal the taggers, because people write about more than just themselves (PETA, for instance).

But yes, the tagging game is pretty contageous, probably because it is interesting and doesn’t revolve about baiting and monetary/link incentive
