A few more points on the TUMBLR switch.. And some final points

Move over, Reddit: Tumblr is the new front page of the Internet.

It’s the site that launched a thousand memes, including the dress — and it’s only getting started.

I have been telling my friend who loves the poorly designed REDDIT that Tumblr is the new social media of record.

But I still think all the memes and worthwhile Facebook nonsense comes from 4CHAN. That’s not changing any time soon..

Move over, Reddit: Tumblr is the new front page of the Internet.

It’s a high tangled web.. I’d rather not get involved or I’ll quit too.

Incidentally back in the summer of 2010, I also quit Tumblr after a band of neo Nazis started to hate me after posting a historic quote about Adolf hitler.. I soon reentered the fray.. haven’t quit since. but u always could. .

Oh tumblr..

Rumor: Some Bad Shit Is Going Down At Tumblr

electradaddy:

I knew there would be consequences if I caught up on my dash.

People knew there’d be SOME KIND OF MESS that happened once YAHOO! took over..

Now I just wish, before this mess becomes a full fledged website social networking crisis, they come up with a good backup for people who don’t use MACs.. just hoping..

Blogger vs Tumblr Vs Wordpress?

A little confused by Tumblr recently..

Lots of blogs I do not following are suddenly appearing in my news feed. I was confused by a few and tried to figure out if I had somehow accidentally followed them—none of them are really of interest to me and I am not sure exactly what Yahoo! and David Karp felt it necessary for me to see them. Today another new one showed up: They are advertising the Windows phone to me.

I am getting a little tired of this whole thing.. is it a glitch or something that has been agreed to occur to help advertise on here??

If you want to see the Internet(s) in its infancy, here you go

Look no further than Geocities.. This website captures some of the classics..

I myself had a few Geoshitties sites.. 

It was the original Myspace.. the original blogger..the original Facebook.. it predated Tumblr. The divorced dads and Jeep lovers from the 1990s paved the way for the personal blogs and opinionated sites of today.

God bless Geocities, and the pavers of the internet superhighway.

But Yahoo! shut down Geocities.
And now Yahoo! owns Tumblr…

Hmmm….

Documents: U.S. mining data from 9 leading Internet firms; companies deny knowledge

U.S. intelligence has access to the servers of nine Internet companies as part of top-secret effort.

I suppose if the government would have attempted to extract data from Tumblr servers, they would have consistently received the same message that users typically receive when they try to update their websites: ‘WE’RE SORRY, SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE’

Yahoo users informed that company has right to scan and read all of their emails.. So Tumblr users,  are we scared yet?

Today's main event: The Rumblr on Tumblr

There’s a rumblr on Tumblr..the new billion dollar man is coming to us from the tech world. Yahoo! is shelling out over $1 bil for the blogging service Tumblr.

Some users are concerned.. After all, it seems anything corporate Yahoo! gets its hands on fails or gets forgotten..

Also interesting, David Karp, the founder of Tumblr who dropped out of high school and made the blog service in his mom’s New York City apartment, said he wouldn’t sell as recent as a month ago. But money talked. Apparently talked very loud..

Get out while the gettin’s good, perhaps?

Either way, Karp is about to become the tycoon of the age.

The first of only a few since last century. Oh, and by the way, it was last century that Yahoo! bought another blogging service: Geocities. That failed too. And about two years ago, Yahoo! completely deleted all Geocities sites from its archives and database… leaving users to frantically try to save years of infancy of the internet.

So if Tumblr users think Yahoo! will care about providing a platform for independent thought to flourish and creative activity to occur, doubt that one..Big time.

Wow…
The day David Karp made Drudge…

Anyone else a little uneasy about this? It’s like your parents planning to give you up for adoption.

In Obama style, maybe David Karp will announce that he found out about this in the newspapers when we did.
