'25 Random Things' Notes Take Over Facebook

25 Random Things About Me Notes Take Over Facebook
By now you've certainly been tagged in one of those '25 Random Things About Me' notes on Facebook. It's unavoidable. You might have even filled one out yourself, burdening your "friends" with your narcissism.

What's really amazing however is how quickly this seemingly simple meme has taken off on the social networking site. An estimated 5 million of these notes have been posted and shared, removing all mystery from both your real and fake friends.

While we're normally annoyed with the surveys that circulate around MySpace and Facebook we've learned to accept and ignore them, but every time we sign on to Facebook we have at least half a dozen notifications that we've been "tagged" on a '25 Random Things' note.

Our advice is the same that parents have been giving to kids for dealing with annoying siblings and bullies for years -- if you ignore it, it'll just go away. [From: TIME]
