Do you Know what is Throwback Thursdays or #tbt?
well ...
It is a social media trend done specially on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr..
Essentially it is to bring back a memory, share an old photograph via these social networks on Thursdays...but most notably on Instagram (which is the photo sharing app done with your cell phone).
The term has being around since the early 2003- 2006 but it was until 2011 when "Instagram" introduced the hashtags, posting old photos of oneself on thursdays with the hashtgag #throwbackthursday or #tbt that this trend became so popular.
In 2012, the term "Throwback Thursday" was 1st defined on the urban dictionary as :
[when you put a picture from a "while" ago on your social media sites....]
Initially the theme was to share old photos of oneself but nowadays, the "#throwbackthursday" theme can pertain to basically anything that happened on the past.
Not only people are participating in this unique trend, but also companies!
Well known brands such as "BMW, Land Rover, People Magazine, Pepsi, Southwest Airlines, Wendy's" etc...just to name a few, are sharing on their social media old photos of their "vintage" makes, brands, events...on Thursdays!
And Experts say that this trend became so popular because People love the feeling of nostalgia!
All this being said...
I decided to make my "own"...
Welcome to my very 1st
#Throwback Thursday
right here on my blog!
Do you remember this post?
I posted this photo on august 2012, "Dies to Die for ...class!"
I only got 2 comments that day, and I wonder how many of you now knew of my blog, back then?
I bet not many....
Can you see the changes that I made in my photo shooting?
I used my photo tent, now I use another setting by a window with day light...I think it looks different, but I kept the same arrangement on the back :) Ah memories, sweet memories....

I do not have a time frame as how long I will be doing it
I will do it, I guess, until this phase will fade! :)...

A splendid idea Bibiana. I will participate next week as this week has been very busy. I have not even had much time to post comments. Yours is one of the few.

Sounds like fun to me too. I hope to find time next Thursday to do this...great idea!
ReplyDeleteOMG your work just blows my mind Beautiful ....................Lis
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea, but not sure anybody would be interested in mine, as all my older entries are long gone. My old blog were on a forum that was suddenly closed over night so 8½ years of blogposts were just gone, and my current blog is only 1 year old and I have even not been very active this last year, so not too much nostalgia in my oldest blogposts I´m afraid, as they´re not very old LOL. But I agree to all you´ve said here, and I wish you all the best of luck with this, and I´ll defnitely come back to watch every thursday, that´s for sure.
ReplyDeleteC'est sympathique de retrouver certaines images du passé ! De bons souvenirs ! Bises
ReplyDeleteQuelle bonne idée Bibiana ! J'adorerais voir et revoir de tes créations ! Je vais participer, c'est certain. Même si mon blog n'a que 2 ans. Une suggestion pour nos visiteurs, peut-être installer le "Translate ou Traducteur" et tous nos amis pourront lire les publications de chacune. Bises ma chère amie de Capucine!
ReplyDeletebonjour Bibiana, merci de m'avoir avertit de ton nouveau challenge blog, je l'ai ajouté a la liste , tes créations sont superbes et tellement élégante, biz
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea, Bibiana! Sounds like fun and I will be stopping by to play along with displaying your blinkie in my blog!
ReplyDeletehi Bibana, I would be interested in playing along but cant find the link up button. I must be missing something.....
