Traditional Media Is Having A Field Day On Tumblr →

“A big media website is kind of this formal, corporate space,” said Coatney, “in which interaction, if it happens at all, takes place on this really unequal arena. News sites present their stories, and then, at the most, maybe they’ll let their readers respond in a lesser space. Tumblr is a level playing field, and because of that you get a much better discussion and engagement with your readers, which is vital in building a community around your publication.”

Tumblr’s new archive view is impressive. I could redirect people directly to it, to give them a better understanding of the type of things I’m into. A greater visual representing of Jer, if you will. View it here.

It worked. Nicely done Tumblr folks. Thanks for the Christmas magic.

noahkalina: I am posting this photo I took of David Karp, the guy who created Tumblr, wearing a Tumblr t-shirt, on my Tumblr.

My Tumblarity is at an all time high. I broke into the top 1000 in Canada this week. Next goal, top 500.

Notes on Tumblr? No Comment?

Tumblr released the goods for their new notes feature this week. For those of you who don’t know what’s up — Notes on Tumblr are basically the fly meter for your posts (here’s an example). Notes can be two things:

1. A Reblog - When a Tumblr user takes your post and re-posts or reblogs on their site.
2. A Like - When a Tumblr user gives your post some “I heart this” props.

Basically the Notes feature is Tumblr’s comment killer. They’ve been cooking this feature up for awhile and to echo what they said back in the day, I think it has potential to be significant to the web. With that being said, I’m keeping comments on my site for now. I’m not ready to turn my back to them just yet.

Twitter feed in my Tumblr dashboard. So clutch.

Josh B. on Tumblr →

Dotcomrade Josh Barber has finally made the switch to Tumblr. I helped him tweak his theme a bit. Go say hi. If you hadn’t already figured it out, I’m a fan of Tumblr and encourage those who ever wanted to get into blogging to try it.

Good news. My brother Ryan started a Tumblr. Or as he likes to call it “my online gym of internet goodness”. I styled it for him, may be a bit buggy in Internet Explosion. But enough chit chat, go say hello.

I Have a Tumblr Following Rule →

I have a tumblr following rule: The number of people I follow can’t equal a number greater than three times the number that are following me. Currently there are 6 people following me which allows me to be following 18 people.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about sign up for Tumblr and you’ll be in thy know.

Happy Easter.
