This is a ‘quickie’ (no pun intended)… but I just want a blogging question answered.
*DISCLAIMER - for those of you seriously considering hiring me to turn your struggling online presence into a star-studded affair, do not be discouraged by my need to ask these questions. I can back it up with 7 years of serious internet marketing and it’s those who ASK who LEARN. Yes I could have googled it, but this is MORE FUN and just maybe I am a keyword GENIUS to write this post.
Moving on….
What is the difference between being ‘tagged’ and a ‘meme’? Rather, I know what it means to tag, but how should the ‘tagee’ react if tagged vs being ‘memed’.
I ‘tagged’ a few people and the end result was that one person wrote a blog post about the subject (which was cool) and someone else ‘memed’ me and I just commented on their blog…
All I wanted was to start conversations and get comments.

Tagging would be what you did… link to someone, assume they will see the incoming link via Technorati, and in your case, hope they play along.
“Meme” is a more nebulous term referring basically to a viral idea. I’ve never heard it used as a verb before, so I’d assume anyone who says they “memed” you was probably using a word they didn’t really understand
