A minute of silence for all the good books with bad movie adaptions.
A minute of silence for all the bad books that are getting movie adaptations.
A minute of silence for books with the movie adaptation on the front cover
A minute of silence for The Last Airbender
ten minutes of silence for The Last Airbender
Two hours of stunned horrified silence for The Last Airbender.
Thanks to the internet, I spent those two hours not watching that movie.

and a three
This is wonderful. ^__^
i cant believe we share a website with these people
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
You know, I’m mostly cool with the whole Yahoo thing. I mean, if they screw the pooch, everyone will find another site. It’s like the whole MySpace to Facebook to tumblr evolution. The only thing that really bothers me is…have you ever read the comments section on Yahoo news? I mean, really? The default comment, no matter what the article is about — really NO MATTER what — is it’s Obama’s fault. Woman goes into labor in a Walmart? Obama’s fault. Florida Man does something Florida Man-like? Obama’s fault. And it just goes downhill from there. Yahoo commentariat is the worst! I’d hate to see tumblr infected by them. Tumblr is one of the safest places on the ‘net for people who have a hard time fitting in elsewhere for whatever reason and I really hope no matter how many ugly ads Yahoo covers my dash with or whatever changes they attempt to sell our eyeballs or our data to advertisers, that is the one thing they don’t change. But if they do, I am confident that all the bright young minds of tumblr will find another place to go and stay a step ahead, because that’s how they got here to begin with.
There’s also something really wrong/creepy with calling David Karp daddy… I’m just not sure what it is.
Also, he’s not going anywhere either. He’s still acting ceo of tumblr.
If people like this are the ones that are leaving because of this purchase, good riddance. You inconsiderate assholes.

Goodnight everybody, hopefully the new day for everyone finds you well.
I’m delighted to announce that we’ve reached an agreement to acquire Tumblr!
We promise not to screw it up. Tumblr is incredibly special and has a great thing going. We will operate Tumblr independently. David Karp will remain CEO. The product roadmap, their team, their wit and irreverence will all remain the same as will their mission to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve. Yahoo! will help Tumblr get even better, faster.
Tumblr has built an amazing place to follow the world’s creators. From art to architecture, fashion to food, Tumblr hosts 105 million different blogs. With more than 300 million monthly unique visitors and 120,000 signups every day, Tumblr is one of thefastest-growing media networks in the world. Tumblr sees 900 posts per second (!) and 24 billion minutes spent onsite each month. On mobile, more than half of Tumblr’s users are using the mobile app, and those users do an average of 7 sessions per day. Tumblr’s tremendous popularity and engagement among creators, curators and audiences of all ages brings a significant new community of users to the Yahoo! network. The combination of Tumblr+Yahoo! could grow Yahoo!’s audience by 50% to more than a billion monthly visitors, and could grow traffic by approximately 20%.
In terms of working together, Tumblr can deploy Yahoo!’s personalization technology and search infrastructure to help its users discover creators, bloggers, and content they’ll love. In turn, Tumblr brings 50 billion blog posts (and 75 million more arriving each day) to Yahoo!’s media network and search experiences. The two companies will also work together to create advertising opportunities that are seamless and enhance user experience.
As I’ve said before, companies are all about people. Getting to know the Tumblr team has been really amazing. I’ve long held the view that in all things art and design, you can feel the spirit and demeanor of those who create them. That’s why it was no surprise to me that David Karp is one of the nicest, most empathetic people I’ve ever met. He’s also one of the most perceptive, capable entrepreneurs I’ve worked with. His respect for Tumblr’s community of creators is awesome, and I’m absolutely delighted to have him and his entire team join Yahoo!.
Both Tumblr and Yahoo! share a vision to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas by focusing on users, design — and building experiences that delight and inspire the world every day.
Can everyone calm down now?
I’ve taken away the photo that yahoo had as the header for this post seeing as it was an animated gif that flashed really rapidly between horrible colors and I respect my followers too much to expose them to that on my blog. BUT! This is a good post I wanted you guys to see.
So yeah.
Yahoo, confirmed as buying tumblr.
We all knew it was in the works. Here’s the post from Yahoo!’s CEO clearing up some confusion.
Can’t wait to see what an influx of new direction will do to tumblr, maybe they’ll actually fix the video player. *shock*
