My name is my domain, an exercise in narcissism

March 11th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Ok, this is semi-annoying, and semi-interesting. but fun in a narcissistic way.

“E-mail chain letters annoy me as much as they annoy you because they are usually based on lies. How many times has that girl in the hospital been on her death bed waiting for your friends, right? As if. This blogger chain letter is different because all the participants benefit and no one is being duped. It’s more like a game, really, where everything is played wide out in the open.” as noted by Jacob Share, a friend that pointed out this little gig.

But what interested me most, was that I was wee bored and found it a challenge to come up with people/sites that fit the criteria. And the thought of playing with technorati did appeal to me, but why not after the time spend scratching my head over their ranking criterial (which two stoned muppets could have come up with).
Here’s what you need to do. Gary Lee started the game and I heard about it from. The premise is very simple. You simply copy the text below and follow the instructions to play along. Oh, and be sure to change the blog link mentioned to your own blog. There is one condition – you can only participate if your domain has your name in it (click some of the links below for illustration, proper www.myname.*).

In my case, I’m adding three people whom I know, and whom I’ve not talked with in a while. Chances are they’ll pick up on this in their stats and see my little “hello, long time no chat”. :)
***Start Copying Here***

1) Write a short introduction paragraph about what how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.

2) COPY the ENTIRE List below and add it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.

3) Take “My Adds” and move them into the “My Originals” list.

4) Add 3 Brand New Narcissistic Bloggers that you know of

My Adds:

Pier Fumagalli
Russell Dicker
Andrew Savory

The Originals:

David Slade
Netanel Jacobsson
Tom Raftery
Gary Lee
Ed Lau
John Chow dot Com
Nate Whitehill
Stephen Fung
Michael Kwan
Jeff Kee
Stuart Hannig
Hannes Johnson
Nomar
Nathan Drach
Saman Sadeghi
Bob Buskirk
Jon Waraas
David Lithman
Jacob Share

***Stop Copying Here***

I now challenge Pier, Andrew and Russell to do the same.
