Until I read your post I didn't know how they started or what the purpose was except to get people talking. Interesting. I've also seen comments left on various sites that were obviously not left by the devoted reader. Thanks for the good info. I've been checking out blogs to find ones I like - and I use the links that are listed on blogs I do enjoy to find more. So I hope a lot of people use your philosophy - and only list sites they actually enjoy and visit regularly. Someday I'd like a long list of links on my site - but I'd like them all to be new friends!!!krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717829287358693407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-48781823113374161852007-04-19T08:52:00.000-04:002007-04-19T08:52:00.000-04:00What really bugs me are those people who leave a c...What really bugs me are those people who leave a comment in your comment box who have NEVER even visited before and prvide a link to thier site by saying something cheesy and first....I have been getting a lot of that lately. I deleate them. If they want a link, they should at least ask first and not be so rude as to assume I want a comercial link on my site! I need to go delete some of those this morning from my blog (rolls eyse) might make a good rant LOLNickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001250231781402073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-17128908076393662042007-04-19T08:26:00.000-04:002007-04-19T08:26:00.000-04:00Even if I had the luxury of high speed internet, I...Even if I had the luxury of high speed internet, I wouldn't have the time to read all the blogs in which I would have an interest. Slow dial up being what it is, I enjoy reading about a dozen gardening blogs on a regular basis and can only comment on a few at a time. Memes would be out of the question for me. I read most of Zoey's comments and visit many of her commenter's blogs. I like to think of this group as my morning "kafee klatsch"! "-) Y'all get my mornings off to a great, smiling start - thanks much!Giddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810313282013706875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-79321784113774259092007-04-19T05:27:00.000-04:002007-04-19T05:27:00.000-04:00Good morning, everyone.Just need to clear up one t...Good morning, everyone.<BR/><BR/>Just need to clear up one thing. <BR/> It's not people like us who participate in the memes that I am ranting about. It's the originator of those memes that require a link back. That little badge that you put on your blog goes right back to the person who started it. He/she is the one getting the thousands of links. <BR/>If all they really cared about was finding the answers to the questions, there would be no need to stick the badge link (they conveniently made) on your blog.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-64141005878145343212007-04-19T00:43:00.000-04:002007-04-19T00:43:00.000-04:00Hi Zoey, I'm not sure I even understand what a mem...Hi Zoey, I'm not sure I even understand what a meme is and now I have to worry about zillions of links? If there was a nomination for "blog I visit every-other-day-or-so because I like to read it", I'd put you up for it!LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-26793806506941493112007-04-18T22:10:00.000-04:002007-04-18T22:10:00.000-04:00Hmm.

The only memes I've participated in are when I was tagged by someone else about "5 things about me" and that only gets linked back the person who tagged me. <BR/><BR/>But on the subject of ranking, there are a lot of people who are "comment whores" who comment everywhere hoping people will come to their blog. I know there are a lot of blogs out there, I prefer my list of blogs I read to actually be ones I read on a regular basis. But I have some people who comment every once in a while, and I always get the impression from their comments that they don't read regularly, just enough to encourage me to visit their site. This is different from my regular readers whom I know read regularly and when they comment, I can tell they keep up with me. Does that make sense?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I read your blog almost everyday, even if I don't always comment. :P And I forgot to second everyone else's compliments on your lovely bird quilt. So much work and detail!Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-10376085028696562952007-04-18T22:06:00.000-04:002007-04-18T22:06:00.000-04:00Wowzers, I never thought of memes like that either...Wowzers, I never thought of memes like that either! sometimes I do them if they seem fun, sometimes I don't.

(and I've done literally dozens)<BR/>I do them for the fun of it, and no other reason.. It doesn't matter one bit to me whether they link back or not. <BR/>I never have thought of myself as a "social climber" and I could care less about stats.

I have only a few blogs I am down to that doesnt' ask me to vote, (you know what I mean), or to put a blog badge on my blog!!<BR/>I have only done one and it was the quiz type, without a badge.
