Facebook has an interesting simple meme.
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with
25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose
25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I
tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you!
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page (if it’s not
there, use the “+” to get to it), paste these instructions in the body
of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the upper
right corner of the app) then click publish).
