The way it works is someone tags you (and 24 other Facebook users) and shares 25 random things about themselves. In turn, your are supposed to type up a list of 25 random things about yourself and share with the person who tagged you and 24 other people. It's a variation of one of those chain letters that required you to forward it to 10 people - or else.

While some people love this latest fad, some loath it. Here is a top ten list of reasons I both love and hate the "25 Random Things About Me" fad. Why just 10 reasons, you ask? Because one of the things I hate about the "25 Random Things" list is the list is too long.

LOVE - It's a rallying cry to highlight our individualism in an anonymous digital culture.

HATE - I hate "25 Random Things" lists that use way too many clichés, try too hard to be funny, and those whose lists descend into creative narcissism.

LOVE - I love the fact it saved me from having a 30-minute conversation with my co-worker about her babies. Instead I wasted 5 minutes on Facebook reading about them.
