Maybe some of you readers have already seen or actively participated in what I'm about to discuss...
Recently on the social media mains stage, Facebook.com, there has been an overload of the "25 Random Things," a note that users can write and tag their friends to be apart of. It has been making the rounds on more than likely a good chunk of your "friends" list for those of you Facebook users and as a result has even caught the attention of the New York Times. In an article, "Want to Know More About Me? Here are '25 Random Things,'" the idea of learning, "more details about a person's life without actually interacting with them," as the article states, is further discussed. Sharing personal information has both been criticized and praised; check out the article for more scholarly opinions.
These surveys are usually found on MySpace.com, but this particular "25 Random Things," has really stirred up talk over the web and is hard to avoid on Facebook.com. Just within the past few weeks, if you google "25 Random Things About Me," you'll find almost 36,000 results!
So how many of you created a list of "25 Random Things" for yourself on Facebook? How do you feel about sharing personal or random information that others might find interesting?
