We’re planning to expand Muck Rack’s coverage of the intersection of journalism and social media on this Tumblr-powered site with short, pithy articles. Muck Rack’s content reaches thousands of journalists and media professionals through our Tumblr, Twitter and Muck…
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...

I was offered the opportunity to head up to New York and work at Tumblr’s Manhattan office as part of the design team! I’m so excited and happy! Thanks to David, Charlie, Danielle, Marc, and Peter for giving this unbelievable opportunity!

Artists on Tumblr →
tfail:
There’s a new section promoting all the awesome artists on Tumblr and I have been honored with the privilege of being one of the tag editors for said section. That being said, I plan to do my best in helping bring attention to the artists of Tumblr that really deserve it. That sound ok? I don’t know where I am. Oh. And you should add “Artists on Tumblr” to your tags to follow. We...

Rupert Murdoch posted to Twitter today about MySpace, stating that they ‘screwed up in every way possible’ with the company, and that there were a lot of lessons learned.
I wonder what the lessons might be.

travors:
MySpace, the grand daddy of social services is still wheezing along, comScore says in its latest social media report. In fact it is bigger than Tumblr and Google Plus.
Weird!
As beleaguered as it may be, MySpace was the first monster social network. In my opinion the lure was customization. (I wish tumblr would allow you to set a background image or color in your dashboard.) My_...

“Maybe instead of using FUD to terrify Tumblr users into uninstalling Missing E, Tumblr could use that time and energy to give Tumblr users the functionality they installed Missing E to get in the first place.”

prosthetic knowledge: Tumblr Radar →
prostheticknowledge:
Not a complaint, but I must have the record for the most underwhelming Tumblr Radar response ever.
The Teletext Art Festival post went on up there about 4 hours ago (it’s not on there now) and currently has a respectable 464 notes (which is fine), although previous posts on there usually…
I would guess that there are traffic spikes as well as an ever...

My complaint about FB messages is that it is too hard to search. & DM on twitter is a pain when you only have 140 characters.

not completely as there’s no character limit and you can post links, unlike the “ask” feature.
Ah! Good to know. I had no idea that you couldn’t put links into ask boxes, though. I assume it’s a spam deterrent of some sort? Weird.
