Blog-Tag: Start your own Virtual Cocktail Party in the Blogosphere

After since announcing this version of “Blog-Tag” ten days ago, the game has taken on a life of its own after first “tagging” friends representing people in the Voice and Video side of the Blogosphere. Two days after the game started Dave Gale started a rogue offshoot in another corner of the Blogosphere To date, well over 100 people have played the game and it has been a great way to get to know something more about the people we read daily and relate to in the Blogosphere.

And now that we are in the middle of the holiday season, even if you haven’t been tagged, why not go out and start your own game amongst your friends? There is no need for you to wait to get tagged yourself in order to play the game. Just take the lead and see where it goes. You may be surprised as you watch the genealogy of the game as it evolves.

To play, simply share five things about yourself that relatively few people know, and then tag five other bloggers to be "it." Turns out to be more effective if you also email the people who you are tagging so that they know they were tagged

For example, five more things that relatively few people know about me:

- pulverradio is the only Internet-Only Radio station that uses Selector.

- When I was 11 years old I was the youngest comic book “dealer” at a comic book show at the Hotel Mcalpin in NYC. First TV interview took place at the same venue and was done by Judy Licht when she worked for WNEW-TV

- I started a DJ Entertainment company when I was in high school. I can still hear some of those 80s music mixes in my head.

- When the world was going nuts over the Sony PS3, I went out and purchased my first PS2 just the other week so that we could play Guitar Hero in my office.

- When I grow up I hope to be more like Yossi Vardi.

Five people who I would like to see join our game of blog-tag include: Mike Arrington, Mark Cuban, Fred Seibert, Ted Leonsis and Alan Meckler. Happy Holiday’s to all of you, as you are now “It!”
