@Mel – Agreed. The beauty of a well crafted meme opens up the blogger in a way no “self-promotional” post could ever do.

Now if only more corporate blogs would follow your lead.

I didn’t realise the full extent of the meme. I’ve been tagged several times for many different fact style memes, and Facebook memes *rolls eyes*

I like most of them because it’s a way of connecting with your audience and becoming more of a real person. The person, the character, behind the posts and behind the business. No longer do we hide behind corporate websites, blogging brings out the personality of the person behind it all and makes them more human. Memes are a good way to do that without it being an egotistical “let me tell you about me” post.

I’m another who uses full spelling and punctuation on text messages. Although it is helped by the fact that I have an application on my laptop so I can type it and send it from my phone number. I really dislike sms speak!

Looking forward to reading your meme!

I wouldn’t say you’re behind Janice. You just started after the rest of us just as others will start after you. As long as you understand the techno-jargon and take from it what you want you’re not really “behind”.

Besides this is not a race.

Now I’m off to check out your new blog!

I’m ashamed to say I only learned what a meme was in the blogging context last week when Sean wrote about them! Until then, I’d only heard of memes & genes in the context of the coach training I’d done on the subject of overwhelm.

Want to know something else to make you really appreciate how savvy you are at all this internet wizardry? I only learned (the hard way – I did an accidental one) what a ping was at the weekend too… I am SO behind! My daughter laughs because I even use full spelling and punctuation in text messages.
