That just sort of turns my stomach, the thought of ever having any brand linking on the dashboard taking people out of Tumblr. Anyone with a blog on Tumblr can promote content in their posts, can put any ads they want on the blog. The idea of ever forcing them to put something on their blog — the spirit of Tumblr is that you are totally in control down to every line of code. The idea of changing that really turns our stomach

David Karp, on forced advertising on Tumblr during an interview. Thank you David Karp. Tumblr users appreciate it.

Never thought I'd say this, but after watching only a few moments of Piers Morgan tonight, I found myself missing Larry King

Just didn’t go for it. I tried it.. but didn’t like it.

And I don’t really know if it will grow on me.

If Tumblr is free, how does it make money?

That question, along with many others, answered by David Karp ..

The answer on Tumblr profits, if you’re interested, David Karp said:

There are a couple things we are excited about: promoting content and marketplaces.

The marketplaces are awesome to us because they allow us to cut big checks to our guest developers. People who are creating original themes for our community can sell them to users. The community is thrilled because they are exclusive, unique, customizable and beautiful. They were hustling to try and sell them on their own. Designers are now selling them on Tumblr, and these brilliantly talented designers are quitting their gigs at design firms to design themes for Tumblr.

Users are also paying for promotion in our directories

While I may not truly understand it, the Coal Speaker is on Tumblr. So I have always wondered how Tumblr is making money from this whole thing..

And it also makes me want Tumblr to finally come up with a backup ability for non-Mac users!

If Tumblr is free, how does it make money?

Conspiracy theories abound online!

Was Ricky Gervais kicked off stage after offensive Golden Globe jokes hit Hollywood stars hard?

He insists no, but it hasn’t stopped the speculation.

As a fond admirer of the British press, I love the way the UK DAILY MAIL is reporting on the Globes’ jokes:

Ricky Gervais today insisted he had not been banned from the Golden Globes after subjecting a room full of speechless American stars to lewd jibes at last night’s ceremony.

He vanished from the stage in the middle of the awards show, leading to speculation that he had been carpeted. Viewers said that when he returned some time later he looked subdued.

A spokesperson for the comedian today called rumours he was chastised by bosses ‘utter rubbish’ fueled by ‘Twitter speculation.’

Gervais insists the the mood backstage was ‘great’ and his extended time away from the camera was planned.

The Brits especially love when Americans are speechless.

Watching Jack Hanna on David Letterman while school delays and closings because of a snowstorm display on screen. It’s been years since high school but school closings and night storms still make me go to bed happy..

A supermassive black hole in a neighboring galaxy is the size of 6.6 BILLION suns.. And yes, it could potentially swallow our entire solar system

But it probably won’t. And if it does, would we know? Or just be transported to another time.. At least if we got gobbbled up in a black hole we’d finally find out what is in one..

Yes, life can sometimes be rough..

Thinking about Martin Luther King Jr. made me also think of this song, and I am not truly sure why, as it has no geo-political or social message besides Bonnie Tyler losing someone she loved.

But nonetheless… here’s Bonnie Tyler — It’s a Heartache
