Tumblr is down alot. But with the new Tumbeasts, as CNN reports, faith in the brand may actually be strengtehened..
CNN reports:
Amusing error mascots are popular with users, but they can also deliver a bottom-line payoff: Being direct about screw-ups often strengthens users’ faith in a brand.
"The spirit of transparency is the new order," says Michael Gaiss, senior vice president at branding consultancy Highland Capital Partners. “Plus, being funny probably lightens the bad press around problems.”
The most iconic of these efforts is Twitter’s “Fail Whale” — the microblogging site even refers to errors as “whales” in its system status updates. Twitter’s history of crash whimsy runs deep: Before it introduced the whale, it had the error kitten.
Giant Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) has jumped on the trend. Google Books piggybacked on Twitter’s theme, creating its own Moby Dick-esque Fail Whale for when the service “is having trouble finding that page.”

To me, this seems to be a pretty big deal: Facebook is going to let advertisers REPUBLISH user posts
You will be updating your Facebook, doing product placements, and won’t even know it..
From the AP story:
NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook users who check in to a store or “like” a brand may soon find those actions re-transmitted on their friends’ pages as a “Sponsored Story” paid for by advertisers.
Currently there is no way for users to decline this feature
There is something really creepy about Facebook, and anyone who thinks about it knows it, even if you have a Facebook.
I have been steadily ending lots of updates on there and stopped publishing my Coal Speaker Tumblr feed on there too for fear of this very thing.. I may not matter or be a big deal to the masses of advertisers, but.. even if there’s a chance an advertiser would use me without concern is enough to make me want to quit Facebook altogether.
