20 Feet from Stardom

A year or so ago, I had a chance to watch an absolutely phenomenal documentary called 20 Feet from Stardom, on back-up singers.

Have You Seen YOUR Top 20 Moments of 2012 on Facebook? And Cheat to See Your Friends’?

Facebook has a new feature for its users. It’s called the Year in Review, and it features your Top 20 Moments from some algorithm Facebook generates from your profile. You may have seen it, or not have it yet, as it seems to be a gradual rollout. So look for it if you have not!

Just go to your profile. On the right hand side of where your wall starts, there should be a “2012” graphic and link to click on to see your top moments from 2012. A whole page is dedicated to it!

Face Time Facebook Picture Tagging Meme

Please click here for a complete list of over 100 Facebook picture tagging memes on this site with which you can use for fun with your friends.

This is my latest Facebook 2.0 picture tagging meme or action tagging memes. It is named after the Web 2.0 concept, where it’s not just fun and games but result in real life actions. The latest one is to, ironically, get people off Facebook for some real life, face time, interaction.

You use this to tag people and let them know you’d like to see them in person. This is probably best for those who live near you but you haven’t seen lately, you don’t see often or often enough. Old high school, middle school, junior high or even elementary school friends we have on Facebook comes to mind. Same with those on past clubs, teams, work places and such. We have them on Facebook and it’s nice to be in touch again, but some we probably haven’t seen in person since. I know I have a few, and I know lots of people who do, too!

Here’s to “keeping it real” on Facebook!

Unlike most of the other Facebook picture tagging memes you’ve seen out there, it doesn’t really matter which icon you tag someone with here. It’s just to send a little reminder, in a fun way besides the other means like sending an email, to let you know you’re thinking of them. You can also take people off the list once you see them, as well as tag them again when it comes time to do so in the future.

Here’s how to get this Facebook picture meme to reunite in person, get some face time or just to see someone for some meaningful interaction:

  • Click on the picture to get it at full size.
  • Right click on that picture and save to your computer.
  • Upload it to your Facebook profile.
  • Tag your friends!
  • Click the Back button on your browser to return to this post.
