You have been tagged

In recent times, it has become popular to "tag" someone to answer a list of questions or carry out the instructions in the tag. When you have done so, you would in turn have to tag some more people. It is something akin to chain mail although in this case, you are not just forwarding an electronic mail that you have received. You are also required to answer the list of questions or carry out the instructions in the tag.

This is similar to the game of "chase and tag" that is popular with children. In the game of "chase and tag", the object is to tag, or touch, other players who are then out of the game. Usually one player is "it" and he / she is required to chase and tag the other players, one of whom then becomes the new person who is "it".

In the internet version of "tag", so as not to break the chain, when you have been tagged, you should answer the list of questions or carry out the instructions in the tag (as the case may be) and then tag some other people to continue the chain.

I came across a few versions of tag in facebook recently that I found interesting:-

Tag #1: 25 Random Things

Rule: when you have been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. When you have done so, you are required to choose 25 people to be tagged. You also have to tag the person who tagged you because if he / she tagged you, it is because he / she would like to know more about you.

Tag #2: Do you know me?

Rule: when you have been tagged, you are supposed to reply to the person who tagged you by answering a list of questions about that person. The purpose of this tag is to see how well you know the person who tagged you.
