Wordless Wednesday is an interesting concept.

After all, it couldn’t hurt to not write any text for a day. A photo-blogpost could also be a refreshing break from all the text…

Its a really great concept but it need a very skillful use of pic and it will also leave a lot on the imagination of the viewer.So it will certainly provide a variety

So I’m actually kind of sick of #followfriday, since it’s been used and abused just a bit too much when people are like: #followfriday, @someone, @you, @me, @thisguy, @momsbestfriendsauntsunclescousin, etc. you get the picture

Wordless Wednesday is such a great idea that it leaves me Speechless…..LOL

A picture is truly worth a thousand words, but what I find even more fascinating is how people will all interpret an uncaptioned picture based on their own personal conditioning.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and sometimes the response an evocative image elicts accounts for untold numbers of words. Wordless Wednesday is a great idea, it also gives bloggers a breather, sort of like a mini-weekend. ;-)

“This new concept from bloggers gives the phrase of “a picture is worth a thousand words” a lot of emphasis.”

The more visual bloggers will definitely appreciate this new concept as pictures entice the imagination.

Yes, twitter it can bring so many visitors, especially if we have many followers, to be sure each new post via twitter will be promoted very quickly bring in visitors. but, if possible, if later on twitter becomes the main source of visitor?

Great idea, I never thought of using Twitter this way, the again mainly because I am still not 100% sure about twitter…. and its real effectiveness.

Till then,
