Maybe I’m just stupid, but I feel that Tumblr’s search feature might not work as well as it should.

$1 Highlights
At first blush, the new service seems like a novelty and entirely unsustainable. It reminds me of the stickers in that mess of a directory.
I guess I think it is nice that it can be done. But I just see a bunch of loud mouths pushing content at my dash for the price of a $1. And then how much do I want to be one of those people? However, at 45, I do not represent Tumblr’s market segment....

Would you mind taking a moment and nominating this Tumblr for a Shorty Award so I can justify the amount of time I spend here? :P It would be much appreciated. — Mel
reblogging to ask the same! (justifying the work time as well as the off-work time I spend here)
Please. This is what I mean about media swooping in and making Tumblr a big self important echo...
staff:
For several hours this evening, an issue resulting from a software upgrade caused the Dashboard to be slow or unresponsive for many users. While your blogs were not directly affected, we know that incidents like this are inexcusable.
We’re incredibly sorry and appreciate your patience with us tonight.
No worries, glad it’s fixed.

Ghost Followers?
What is with inaccurate follower counts? On many of my subtumblrs it shows a higher count of followers than avatars shown? (I like to imagine it is admiring staff who have some special hide follow feature)
Also, what’s with ghost likes? I will see 4 or five likes on a post, and it will have no drop down of avatars listed.
What about being followed by the nameless profile avatar? Is that...

Google Doc embed in Tumblr?
nprfreshair: “Is it possible to embed a Google doc in Tumblr? I just tried using the ‘video’ post and the result was not functional.”
Progression of Commercial Tumblrs?
I have noted that several of my subtumblrs receive submissions that are commercials or ads. The vendors are wanting me to advertise their service or product to my targeted audiance. I have tried doing so at no charge but it is a nusiance, and feels unjust. (both to myself and to my audiance)
On the otherhand charging them changes the nature of blogging for me and those who follow. I find myself...
