There are a particular breed of meme which, at the end, you're supposed to "tag" (as in the game of tag) a bunch of people that now have to do the meme.

I think it's a silly practice—any meme that has to resort to trying to tell people to reproduce it has insufficiently good memetics to breed by itself. I see it as a sign of inferority in a meme's lineage.

I agreed in principle, however, much depends on the sense and selectivity of the tagger.

That's true. I still think it shows that the meme itself is of low pedigree. After all, if the meme was a strong and healthy one, it wouldn't need to ask people to spread it.

Ah. You are a believer in eumemetics, then.

I guess I do have a certain amount of disdain for information that is underachieving.
