As what About.com defines it, it is the name of a weekly post theme that social media users participate in as part of a very general "throwback" activity for posting content.
On Thursdays, people usually post photos on sites like Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook that are from the past. Photos can be from years ago or from just a few days ago. There aren't really any limitations, and it really just gives people an excuse to post more.
Throwback Thursday is very popular on Instagram, and users often tag their photos with a variety of hashtags like #TBT, #ThrowbackThursday or just simply #Throwback. Adding these hashtags can help get photos more exposure from a wider audience of people who are searching through those tags.
The trend is quickly catching on to other social networks, and some even expand content to include songs and videos from the past as well.
It's also known as: TBT Throwback
-----------------------------------------------------
Now in keeping with the trend and before this day ends, I'm posting my first ever #TBT, #ThrowbackThursday or #Throwback photo. This is a throwback of many years ago. Who would forget Tootsie rolls? I love these chocolate muncher. A few days ago my officemate blogger gave these to me. I was a bit depressed and since chocolate is known to be anti-depressant alongside banana, I was happy munching on these.
What still puzzles me is why throw back on a Thursday? And why not on other days of the week? Would you know?
How about you? What's your #ThrowbackThursday, #TBT or #Throwback photo for this week?
