Yahoo said that Tumblr will be independently operated as a separate business with Karp staying on as CEO.
“Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing,” said Karp in a statement. “Tumblr gets better faster with more resources to draw from.”
Tumblr’s young demographic doesn’t just ignore Yahoo — they don’t know what it is.
When Yahoo was founded, Tumblr’s most important demographic wasn’t even born. This — not profit or monthly active user numbers or corporate image-making — is what explains why Yahoo wants Tumblr.
To Tumblr’s users, Yahoo doesn’t just represent an outside force or a threat of advertising. It represents adults, and everything that word connotes: order, boredom, not “getting it.” Tumblr’s most coveted users aren’t afraid of Yahoo because of its turbulent management over the last ten years, or because of its current leader, or because of what happened to Flickr or Konfabulator or del.icio.us or any number of other beloved services that Yahoo has acquired and let wither on the vine. They’re afraid of Yahoo because they don’t know what the hell it is, or why it has a billion dollars to burn. They’ve never seen Yahoo’s dot com ads, or heard the Yahoo yodel.
Despite largely anecdotal media speculation, it’s not clear how the acquisition of Tumblr by Yahoo for $1.1 billion will be greeted by users of the New York blogging service.But rival blogging service WordPress’ co-founder and CEO Matt Mullenweg posted a blog last night that said that imports from Tumblr to his service on Sunday had risen from a typical 400 to 600 blog posts an hour to over 72,000.
Whoa!
~I assume that number will continue to increase exponentially.
I have a couple of stagnant Wordpress accounts that might be seeing that importing action too.
Just as insurance against the Yahooligans.
I’m happy :)

天路
Stunning view of the mountains and winding road in Mount Tianmen (Tianmenshan, a.k.a. “Gateway to Heaven”) National Forest Park in western Hunan province of China. The park hosts the world’s longest cableway, with a length of 7455 meters and elevation of 1279 meters. The landscape here is simply amazing.
I’ve been teaching various animation apps for the past few weeks, and was using some examples I’d made myself, mainly to demonstrate to the kids how it was done - and how much better than me they could easily be…
I also showed them various videos to encourage their imaginations and get them enthused. None of them had the absolute WOW factor of this one, and coupled with the awesome soundtrack, it really held the attention of every kid who saw it. I wish I’d taken some shots of the rapt amazement on their faces and recorded their excited comments and questions. I love it when that happens :)
I ask you, how much can a koala bear?

Do the math :)
What would Joffrey do?
I can be no franker.
What a simple concept: ideas in two colours,. Each image chosen and collected (with thanks) for this photoset from the tumblog of 2colorideas.
I like them all, but I think my favourite is ‘TREESOME.’ I do love a sturdy trunk.
