i feel like tubmlr is mostly successful because of its culture not necessarily its technology which is just mostly blogging, its culture is really not that respectable and is mostly hermetically sealed from the rest of the webb, liek you can drive madd clicks to yr web properties via facebook or twitter but tumblr just leads to more tumblr, facebook bought instagram as a defensive move which kinda makes sense, yahoo bought tumblr cause they think they can leverage the shit out of its synergies and i think they cannot
― lag∞n, Monday, 20 May 2013 13:08 (eleven years ago) link
i see a common refrain is that yahoo is buying it for its userbase - cue all those silicon valley VC ppl who are like "you can/should value a user at $X a head" - it can prob drive traffic to some websites and youtube, but youre right in that anigifs are self-contained
yahoo properties are not synergistic at all though, it's a bunch of cobbled together properties, probably yahoo is fine with that

tumblr is #32 on alexa's web rankings, behind.... wordpress

maybe yahoo is just planning on putting some ads on there, could be worth it i guess, but id have to think at that price theyre depending on people keeping on using it for a long time which seems pretty suspect, especially as theyll prob fuck it up
― lag∞n, Monday, 20 May 2013 13:15 (eleven years ago) link
yeah... putting ads into the dashboard stream a la twitter is the easiest way but also the most intrusive

maybe they'll data harvest, see what posts get the most notes, analyze, sell that info

im kinda suspicious of the idea that all this social media infos is so valuable and resalable, like im sure there are people who want to buy it but not a billion dollars worth

i'm on the shareholder call right now. no big insights. it is kind of lol that while tunblr will sexy up yahoo's image they are taking cash only in the deal, not any stock. not that i pretend to understand how these deals work.

it was an ad for that new movie the Purge?? arranged as a gifset, when all the gifs synced they became a poster for the moovie

it came from the universal studios official tumblr. on the upper right hand side of the post there was a tasteful $ sign to indicate it was a sponsored post.
yeah i've seen a lot of paid content already, now we wait for the inevitable chrome extension to block paid tumblr content
