Dear Tumblr,
We are writing to ask you to consider adding a ‘Conservation’ or ‘Environment’ featured tag.
We’re not outright asking. We know that featured tags are those that have a certain amount of traffic, but please consider the following:
1. The field of conservation is...

Feature requests:
- Orientation (for ipad)
- Replace “likes” with tags. I have never had the desire to look through posts I have liked.
- “Back to front” button in blogs, scroll city is not fun, when I want to return to the main blog. Srsly.

Tumblr announced today a plan to ban from the website blogs that actively promote self-harm, e.g., anorexia, bulimia, self-mutilation, or suicide. The new policy will likely take effect starting next week.
Any thoughts, anyone?
thinspo/pro-ana blogs will just migrate elsewhere if they need to (and with sites like pintrest getting bigger every day it’s...

staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech,…

One of the common patterns across successful startups is the perilous chasm crossing from startup to wildly successful startup. Finding people, evolving infrastructures, servicing old infrastructures, while handling huge month over month increases in traffic, all with only four engineers, means you have to make difficult choices about what to work on. This was Tumblr’s situation....

writer-a:
Like most other websites popular among strange liberal druggies, at its core, it is a cult. Tumblr is headed by groups of New York gays and nerds, and the head honchos seem to really like cats. You can’t have a moral website with cats, that’s an inherent contradiction. However, cats are extremely persuasive and have turned many people to the dark side. Cats also have a tendency to be...
I'm the worse at Tumblr.
madthoughts:
Most of my followers are lapsed accounts. I rarely pull down any solid note counts. People rarely seem interested in the things I’m interested in. I never get questions and I never get anonymous haters.
Obviously, I’m doing it all wrong.

Being me just doesn’t seem to be...
The dire state of Tumblr search...and tagging

“Tumblr, on the other hand, is not a place for my thoughts and feelings. Tumblr...”
– Ninakix’s Posterous - Better bring a battle axe.
I wrote this yesterday. I’m excerpting this part of the post because gbattle asked why I no longer post blog posts to Tumblr. I guess it just comes down to a general sense that the platform, its’ social conventions, doesn’t feel like a place for or...
