A memetag is a blog tag in a blog post that is comprised of tasks including answering random or associated questions. If a memetag asks the tagged bloggers, meaning the bloggers who were sent the tasks, to “Name your top five pet peeves” then that is what the blogger would do. After doing the task, the blogger would then recognize where the memetag came from by including the link of the blogger who tagged him/her.

It is important to include and recognize the blogger who invited the other blogger to participate in the task. It is also important to recognize the initial creator of the meme. Why? Because the initial creator of a particular memetag has a purpose in creating the meme and he/she should be able to track how the meme has grown and recognized, and how many players participated.

So how would the initial creator would be able to do that? By participants linking their posts back to the blogger who asked them to do the memetag and participants linking back to the blog of the initial creator.

Sadly, the initial creator somehow gets lost along the way because a lot of bloggers do not follow the particular rules included in the memetag.
