I love the viral nature of social media and here is another classic example.  The 6th photo meme, the new version of the age-old chain letter (remember those snail mail days?).  Choose the 6th photo of the 6th page of your flickr stream and post it along with links to six other people or bloggers you know.

By “tagging” your peeps with links to their sites ensures they find out automatically as most bloggers check their ping backs regularly.  The viral nature of this meme drives more inbound traffic to each person tagged which I think is very clever! Hooray for social networking!

My 6th photo meme is in response to being tagged by Mike Volpe and while I do not have a flickr photo stream, I picked the sixth photo from my sixth online photo album on SnapFish.

The photo below is of the legendary five-story step well, Adalaj near my home town Amdavad in western India.  The architecture is a marvelous blend of Hindu and Islamic styles that adds to the history and tragedy behind the legend.

Now for my tags to keep this meme in montion…

  • Toby Bloomberg – because she is an online marketing diva and introduced me to social media.
  • Yoav Shapira – HubSpotter and scrum guru and our guide to using the Agile method for marketing at HubSpot.
  • Dan Abdinoor – Our rockstar producer of HubSpot.tv, DJ, and a wicked foosball player.
  • Adrian Ho – because he loves WoW and has a very interesting blog on Marketing as a Service.
  • Shawn Scott – because we share passions about being a dad, the internet and analytics.
  • Chhavi Sachdev – One of my first friends who’s been a prolific blogger and early adopter of social media.Let’s see how this meme goes!
