I've officially been tagged in my first (correction: sixth - see below) photo meme by Mike Volpe.
The meme concept is kind of an interesting one (though probably gets annoying to those who are tagged all the time) because, although I sit across from Mike all day every work day, I was pleasantly surprised to get an alert about being tagged in his recent blog post.
As Mike explains in his post, "bloggers and social media folks like to play funny Internet games" (so true) and these memes (this particular meme is one of many chains) are one incarnation. What happens is a blogger will "tag" a fellow blogger by naming and linking to them in a blog post, and, because most bloggers track mentions and inbound links, they'll notice the post and continue the meme.
So this meme is the "Sixth Photo Meme" in which you look at the sixth photo on the sixth page of your Flickr stream and share it with the crowd, then tag six more bloggers to do the same. The only issue for me, of course, is that I'm a new user of Flickr and don't have more than one page of photos! So instead I'll share what is essentially the sixth photo on the sixth page of photos on my Facebook profile.
This is a photo from my trip to Europe last summer - I went to Prague, Vienna, and Berlin. Absolutely amazing trip. In any case, this is a photo of the Maisel Synagogue in Prague. There are six synagogues in Prague and each of them are completely different and absolutely historically and architecturally amazing. I should revisit my notes from my trip and blog about it at some point. In the meantime, there's more info about the synagogues and other places of interest in Prague here. Or, if you want to see more photos from my trip, you can check them out in my Europe Trip Highlights photo album.
Now, to keep the meme going, here are six of my blogger friends:
- Chelpixie - Because she's an awesome social mediaphile who, unfortunately, I haven't gotten to see in a while!
- Karen Rubin - Because she's a fellow HubSpotter who wishes she was on the Marketing Team. She's also one of the brilliant co-stars of our weekly HubSpot TV show and has her own delicious-looking food blog.
- Kyle James - One of our most recent (official) additions to the HubSpot team, and will soon be moving to the cold north to help us have even more fun.
- Rachel Levy - Another local marketer who is embracing social media and is really excited about learning about new marketing techniques and applying it to business.
- Tamara Garvey - As of today, I am a big Tamara Garvey fan - check out her etsy page for some cool ink drawings.
- Hannah White - A non-twitterer (yet) but happy blogger and close, close friend. She also takes some pretty awesome photos, regardless of the camera :)
