What is Tell Me Thursday?

Thanks for stopping by. We’re two moms who decided after our recent addiction to Wordless Wednesday that we really really really wanted to know the stories behind some of these great pictures we were viewing every week.
We put our heads together and thought that there were probably a whole bunch of other people who felt the same way and so TellMeThursday.com was born.
Want to participate?
Just follow these simple steps:
1. Participate in Wordless Wednesday.
2. On the following day (Thursday) write a blog post telling the story behind that week’s Wordless Wednesday photo. Make sure that in your post you put a link back to your original photo so that new visitors can find out what in the world you are talking about! 
3. Visit here each Thursday and add the link and a comment to your description post.
Each and every month we’ll choose one fabulous story to be our featured Tell Me Thursday!
C’mon and play with us!
This is a good idea. I want to join, is there any list of the participants? Btw, Wordless Wednesday is not a meme, it’s wordless. How about tellmethursday?
Actually, Raquel, there is nothing inherent to the concept of “meme” that requires words.
Wikipedia defines a “meme” as consisting “of any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that gets transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. Examples include thoughts, ideas, theories, practices, habits, songs, dances and moods and terms such as race, culture, and ethnicity.” An internet meme, similarly would be “a catchphrase or concept that spreads in a faddish way from person to person via the Internet.” (Though sometimes the term internet meme is “is used loosely to refer to things that are not necessarily memes in a technical sense.”) They also claim Hampster Dance was the first widely distributed internet meme. Hampster Dance had music, but not really words.
Secondly, despite the name, and the fact that many participants do not use words in their posts (thus leading to this Tell Me Thursday meme), words are not strictly verboten when playing Wordless Wednesday. As the site says, “there are no rules!” (Interestingly enough, WW is not strictly Wednesdays anymore, either. It’s now a daily meme.)
I would say that Tell Me Thursday is definitely also a meme, and a pretty cool one at that. I bet a lot of people are interested in hearing the stories behind the photos.
I always forget TmT so I just signed up for your emails. Thanks for the comment reminder
Hi, I had thought awhile back that I was a particpant of Wordless Wednesday but it was many months ago and I don’t see me on their blogroll, so I tried to sign up again tonight. I gave my blog name, URL, my name, my email, and when I clicked submit it simply tells me to wait to see if I am elligible to continue to join in Wordless Wednesday…..that was it. Nothing else was written so I waited about 3 min. thinking the page would move on to something else but it never did. I didn’t see any type of help button to get in touch with Wordless Wednesday but I did see where on the first page this was written “If you put it up, and you’re missing– no worries! If you’d like to be added to the blog roll please email me with your blog’s address and title. Everyone’s welcome.” But I do not see anyone email anywhere on the site. I went ahead and still added my Wordless Wednesday photo today on my blog site but I’m not sure they show me as a participant and I don’t know who to contact or how, to find this out. Any suggestions?
And of course I would also like to join ‘Tell Me Thursdays’ as well, but I can’t seem to even make sure that Wordless Wednesday has me listed as a participant to move on to sharing with ‘Tell Me Thursdays’. So until I know how to get in touch with ‘Wednesdays’ than I’ll post my photo on my blog, hoping they have me as a participant and I will continue to try to find a way to get in touch with some help from their site. Tomorrow I will link here the story behind the picture in my blog on there today. Thank you and if you have any suggestions or ideas on how to reach someone over at ‘Wednesdays’ than I would be ever so grateful! Thanks!
