The weird thing about tumblr is we can become friends and have no idea what someones name is.

And then in casual conversation drop ‘well, benedict-cumberbatches-nipples pointed out that.. ‘

the weird thing about tumblr is there are a lot of urls that just don’t belong in casual conversations.

*also i have no idea if there is a tumblr for benedict-cumberbatches-nipples but that seems like something you guys would do.

My prediction for Doctor Who is that it will be super emotional and then:

D: “My name is John Smith”

C: “What?”

D: “John Smith!”

C: “But that’s your fake name”

D: “No my fake name is John Smith!”

C: “Which is what you just said!”

D: “No it isn’t! I said John Smith!”

And it turns out the TARDIS won’t translate his name properly because it’s her job to stop him doing stupid shit like that

hahahaha

when people act like tumblr is a small website with a niche market

to put this into perspective

Keep in mind though, a lot of people run more than one blog, and there’s hundreds of spam accounts. that’s before taking into account that there are a lot of blogs that aren’t ever used.

So uh, there probably isn’t more tumblr users than the population of new zealand.

SHARE TO SAVE TUMBLR!

- Let’s try and get 100k notes

True shit

A review by one of the folks sums it up perfectly:

“What worries me about Yahoo! buying Tumblr is how it would choose to incorporate the website into its email and homepage features. One of the reasons why Tumblr is so unique is because it’s a niche market. By adding more users who don’t fit into this niche, it would make it more difficult for communities to develop within Tumblr, and Tumblr would have to change to accommodate these new users. Tumblr as a website is not the kind that you can sign up for in a day and be on your way. It is a website crafted so that you can immediately post but must spend several weeks, sometimes even months, to build a community. With new users who would not be willing to spend time growing a community, Tumblr would have to be changed, which would alienate its current users. Those users have spent time and effort to make Tumblr what it is today, and they are the ones who spend time on the website daily. A user who is checking onto Tumblr because it’s attached to their homepage is not going to be as strong of a user nor as dedicated. By changing the website to suit this new user, you would lose the strong users while building an undedicated usership.

To any website that would think of buying Tumblr, they must understand that it is a website that cannot be changed to make it more user friendly to a casual blogger. I think that many Tumblr users would be less worried about a buy-out if they were promised that their communities and ways of using Tumblr would not be changed. No one is going to mind Yahoo! buying the website and gaining a few extra million dollars per year from the minimal advertising; what we will be upset with is if a company like Yahoo! then changes the website to increase casual users and decrease dedicated users. Yahoo! would gain nothing by losing this “cool” group of bloggers in an age group they so desperately want to reach, so they must cater to these individuals by leaving the website exactly as is.” - houseoftombombadil

As much as is does sound like a load of bullshit for someone to buy Tumblr, it’s a possibility. I Personally think it should stay independent and I hope David Karp keeps a hold of it like his own child. Or we make enough noise to where such major changes (if bought) will not happen. I would hate to see Tumblr turned into an advertising dump.

We’re not a ‘hip fad group’ to be marketed to. I hate the fact that’s all we look like to businesses in the end.

reblogging again for this ^

Yahoo will do to Tumblr what Six Apart did to Livejournal

I totally agree with how advertising could be bad for Tumblr’s current users. Yahoo’s obviously expecting returns if they’re willing to pay the rumored price of over a million dollars, and unless they increase ads and tie ins with their own services such as their mail and “news” they’re going to lose money. So it seems pretty obvious that there are going to be some changes if Yahoo, or even Facebook which is also rumored to be interested in buying it out at the last minute actually does. Those could be having to log in with a Yahoo or Facebook account, or a larger amount of ads and sponsored posts. But whatever it will be, it seems like they’ll care more about profits and larger numbers of users than the already exiting users.

So that leaves us with the question of what we can do about it - here are a couple of my ideas, but feel free to add on!

Contact them - This may seem obvious, but it’s a good place to start. I’d suggest commenting on their facebook page. Since its public they’ll probably watch it more closely than some email account, and it will get more attention.

Get AdBlock Plus - This blocks ads and prevents the site owner from collecting revenue from ad views. More importantly, post publicly and maybe even contact Yahoo saying you’re doing it in protest of their attempt to capitalize off of Tumblr.

Content advertisers will hate - Nobody wants to advertise on a site that publicly denounces ads, or consumerism. Or even easier than ranting on these subjects, just post a lot of porn ;) I am actually being serious, most companies won’t want to be associated with it. Tagging it with #yahoo could also make a point..

It’s such a big decision to buy out a company that I really believe if we make a big enough protest against it they might reconsider. So if you want Tumblr to stay how it is, go let them know!

^anti consumerism content isn’t going to make one iota of difference. It would just make this look like a hipster site.

Secondly, trying to get tumblr a reputation as a porn site could backfire /drastically/ if some reporter ran a story discussing tumblr slide into porn and how such a large percentage of users are under 18 and there are almost no controls keeping people from being exposed to adult content.

Might be a good way to get tumblr shut down. Or have dramatic new filters and controls on adult content.

Thirdly everything you talk about is trying to talk yahoo out of buying tumblr. The problem is, there’s more than yahoo out there and tumblr is in. Shaky financial ground. In six years of operation they failed to turn a profit in the first five. I think this year is supposed to be their first profitable year thanks to ads on the mobile ap.

If you really want to save tumblr- you need to come up with he reverse- ideas on how to make tumblr money. Turn off Adblock. Click some ads, just to make them look worthwhile.

Yahoo isn’t a bad guy. They are just in a sinking boat looking for some way to keep afloat. Maybe rather than “raaaage” we could respond by suggesting “if you buy tumblr, this is how we should work together to make it the best experience for you and us”.

Hell, it could be great. Yahoo has email, instant message, chat and game features. Aren’t those thigs hat could be integrated into tumblr and you wouldn’t mind?

An interesting article

Sat, 18 May 2013 08:47:25 -0400

Wish j could link this properly but I’m on my phone.

So yahoo is considering buying tumblr.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2013/05/17/yahoo-tumblr_n_3293349.html

Reading that article- tumblr hasn’t earned a profit in its six years. An offer of a cool billion would sound pretty good. (Although on the other hand, tumblr was started with around 700 mil in venture capital so maybe that’s not enough profit. )

And it makes perfect sense from yahoos perspective.

But then there’s the wonderful question of how yahoo would integrate tumblr into its own services.

We’ll see I guess. Though it sounds like there’s a pretty good chance this is going to happen
