8 Tips For A Real Tight Tumblr Strat
bajillionhits:
If your attention span is too short to blog, but you’re turned off by Twitter’s boring lack of pictures, Tumblr has emerged as the Internet’s most important self-publishing platform for self-important people.
Just yesterday the NY Times did a real buzzy piece on just how important Tumblr actually is (John Mayer is on here now - important). It was a pretty nice stratnalysis,...

“We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime. It’s easy. The first girl I ever loved was someone I knew in sixth grade. Her name was Missy; we talked about horses.

What was the panel discussion?
leoncrawl:
The main thing people were unsure about last night at the 90s panel was whether they were remembering things wrong. Everyone seemed motivated by this sense that we probably are glorifying the 90s a little, maybe a lot, and we should sort out what’s what. I think that is what it was built to address, anyway— Mark Greif, the moderator, very clearly wanted the more nostalgic of his...

After reading my mom’s post on shutting down her tumblelog, I can’t help but agree, and it’s time for me to end this.
It’s not about Tumblr, specifically. It’s about the web in general. It’s become overrun by too many animals. One of the last straws was adventures of mascarah, who, after reading a few posts where I expressed myself, wrote this:

Well, well. It’s not really about the content anyway, is it, Nick? It’s about diminished returns for your defeated expectations. It’s about keeping an eye on the margin of your marginalized marginalia.

I’m especially disappointed with Young Manhattanite, who you’d think would be all over...

Theory: reblogging/retweeting is killing the internet. (Please retweet this and discuss.)
Reblog this if you think Rex would be a good print columnist, instead of mucking around on Twitter/Tumblr. My theory is that Rex is too clever to be viral.
