Tumblr is dooooooooooooooomed
“Gimmicks like Sharks Vs. Cats have made it clear that tumblr is doomed as a blogging and microblogging service. In an effort to create a differentiated identity for their community, they have taken away from what users value in any blogging service—the ability to blog without distractions. The Tumblr Staff’s God-like presence will loom large over the next 5 years for better…or perhaps for worse. Only time will tell.” - Michael Arrington in a TechCrunch blog post (via hipsterrunoff)
They haven’t created a ‘differentiated’ blogging service. You can blog on Myspace right? I mean, I think it’s great how Tumblr have done this. I like the idea behind it, you know, just adding a bit of fun to to the dashboard. But come, on. Cat and shark pictures? Next battle, Katy vs Zooey? Fags vs Hags? Twilight vs NOTHING CAN STOP THE RIDICULOUSNESSNESS THAT ARE THOSE TWIGHLIGHT MEMES. Ungh. Somebody post a picture of Jerri Blank fast. I Need to reboot my face.
