  • baconbaconbacon was huge.
  • There was no fuckyeah for everything under the sun, only fuckyeahsharks.
  • noahkai became notorious for his reblog bukkake.
  • Y so srs? Remember when Jokerizing stuff was new?
  • Obama and Palin porn
  • The Dark Knight and the hype that accompanied it
  • Ben Folds!
  • MGMT!
  • Less than 20 people participated in GPOYW.
  • Characters like stupidinboston and saintnate polarized people.
  • The Twitter Fail Whale!
  • Threadless t-shirts
  • No one, save for a handful of Tumblrs, knew what Skins, Flight of the Conchords, and The Mighty Boosh were all about.
  • Everyone created their own Face Your Manga avatar the moment someone posted about it.
  • Memes involved making a mosaic using your flickr or your story using iTunes.
  • People actually read posts.
