SHARE TO SAVE TUMBLR!

- Let’s try and get 100k notes

True shit

A review by one of the folks sums it up perfectly:

“What worries me about Yahoo! buying Tumblr is how it would choose to incorporate the website into its email and homepage features. One of the reasons why Tumblr is so unique is because it’s a niche market. By adding more users who don’t fit into this niche, it would make it more difficult for communities to develop within Tumblr, and Tumblr would have to change to accommodate these new users. Tumblr as a website is not the kind that you can sign up for in a day and be on your way. It is a website crafted so that you can immediately post but must spend several weeks, sometimes even months, to build a community. With new users who would not be willing to spend time growing a community, Tumblr would have to be changed, which would alienate its current users. Those users have spent time and effort to make Tumblr what it is today, and they are the ones who spend time on the website daily. A user who is checking onto Tumblr because it’s attached to their homepage is not going to be as strong of a user nor as dedicated. By changing the website to suit this new user, you would lose the strong users while building an undedicated usership.

To any website that would think of buying Tumblr, they must understand that it is a website that cannot be changed to make it more user friendly to a casual blogger. I think that many Tumblr users would be less worried about a buy-out if they were promised that their communities and ways of using Tumblr would not be changed. No one is going to mind Yahoo! buying the website and gaining a few extra million dollars per year from the minimal advertising; what we will be upset with is if a company like Yahoo! then changes the website to increase casual users and decrease dedicated users. Yahoo! would gain nothing by losing this “cool” group of bloggers in an age group they so desperately want to reach, so they must cater to these individuals by leaving the website exactly as is.” - houseoftombombadil

As much as is does sound like a load of bullshit for someone to buy Tumblr, it’s a possibility. I Personally think it should stay independent and I hope David Karp keeps a hold of it like his own child. Or we make enough noise to where such major changes (if bought) will not happen. I would hate to see Tumblr turned into an advertising dump.

We’re not a ‘hip fad group’ to be marketed to. I hate the fact that’s all we look like to businesses in the end.

Show Yahoo that we are OKAY with them buying Tumblr as long as they leave the current terms and conditions intact and the enforcement policy.

Aka, the site remains the EXACT same as it was before. Keep Tumblr the same Yahoo and we will stay.

Matt Smith and David Tennant Behind the Scenes of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special!

Here it is. Matt and David discuss life as The Doctor!

Thanks to everyone who worked really hard to keep the secret a secret this past week.

(And big thanks to the Doctor Who Facebook Page for helping get this to us earlier than we thought we’d have it. Go follow them if you aren’t already.)

Reminder: the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special is set to air November 23, 2013 — the anniversary of the first broadcast of Doctor Who ever.

Finally—- The variants mockup!

Due to the VERY LIMITED amount of tri-colored hoodies AA has left, XL and Large may not be available in this tri-color. :[ This also means I need to buy them Retail and not Wholesale and they will stay at $145, if stock permits.

HOWEVER, I was looking into the possibility of doing this on dual colored sweatshirts that they have plenty of and I think they look pretty awesome like this too :B Since I can get these en masse, the price will be $115.

Let me know what you think! I’m gunna spam ask all the people on my list about these changes to see if they want to change over to the newer colors and whatnot, or save me some time and post your thoughts here. :D

Pre-orders will be taken reaaallly soon, keep on the look-out!
