Memes: Why I Don't Do Them

Memes are the kinds of posts that occur every single week on the same day that it was originally created. At least, that's how I understand its mechanics.

 

So, now maybe you're wondering, why don't I ever post any memes? They are supposed to generate more traffic onto my blog. Here are three reasons why:

• I feel like the posts are not original. You would expect for them to be posted on the same day every week. I think it loses the spontaneity of the blog. It might give me a regularity on the blog and I won't have to rack my brain on what I need to post for that day, but the predictability is what turns me off.
• Most of the book memes asks for a Top Ten list. This is so hard for me to do because it forces me to pick 10 of my favorite books or only 10 and nothing more kind of list. That's too hard of a decision for me to make being the indecisive person that I am.
• I feel obligated. I feel like participating in memes obligates me to do the post every week even though I probably don't want to do it that week or I already have something else scheduled for that day. I decided a while ago that I will only have one post per day and everything else will just have to go on a different day. That way I have the ability to have something posted every single day.

 

So tell me, why do you participate in memes? Or why not?

Also, if I decide to participate in memes, is it okay if I just do them when I feel like it?

Finally, how do you know what the topic is for that week?!

Leave me links to meme hosts and maybe I'll check them out!

UPDATE: I currently do something similar to In My Mailbox but I call mine Books I've Won and they are in a form of a video...
