Sticky Conversations (Tag, you're it)

The web makes things sticky.
I get on the web, I become sticky. I go to person-A's site and they stick to me. Like a synapse in the brain being solidified. Person-B sees Person-A's post and all three of us stick together. Now, Person-C comes along and can travel along the connected synapses to read the Global Conversation being created.

For example.
Seth Godin wrote about the $100 million dollars (pinky to the crease of the mouth)... that Micsoft is throwing at Bing. He also mentioned the Wave Keynote Presentation and put a link to Andy Wibbles' blog. Andy Wibbels wrote about the Google Wave presentation after he found it on the YouTube site. But Andy embedded the video into his blog and talked about how incredible the presentation is.

Because I liked what Andy was saying, I looked at some other things he's written about.
Such as his "5 Things to Do Everyday to be Successful". Andy is part of a network of people who are telling everyone 5 simple things that they do each day or week in order to be a better person in some way. The connections range from random bloggers who have never put these ideas into words, to people who have created whole blog sites about personal development.

On his blog people comment with their own 5 things to do, or give links which further the sticky conversation.

While working on a experiment started by Aaron Potts called Simply Successful Secrets

Ellen writes about the whole process of tagging back:
In this way, we can share our secrets of success with our readers as well as with the readers of all the other bloggers who participated. In addition, we are supposed to *tag* as many bloggers as we like to participate in this experiment.
