    Miss our webinar on Tumblr engagement? No worries! We’ve got it here. 

    In this recording, Kenyatta Cheese, Co-Founder of Everybody at Once, and Jenn Deering Davis, Co-Founder of Union Metrics, talk about Tumblr, brands and how (and why) to foster engagement on the platform. They also discuss what goes into a successful Tumblr campaign, how to measure engagement, improve your content— and more.

    How to not be a sucky brand on Tumblr, an audiobook by me and Jenn Deering Davis.

    Kenyatta is way better at titles than we are.

  3. marissamayr: 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. Very well done all around. Congratulations to the entire Tumblr team.

  5. Startups are run by people who do what’s necessary at the time it’s needed. A lot of time that’s unglamorous work. A lot of times that’s not heroic work. Is that heroic? Is that standing on a stage in a black turtleneck, in front of 20,000 people talking about the future of phones? No. But that’s how companies are built. That person who did that for the iPhone launch at Apple, we don’t know who he is. All we know is that Steve Jobs came up with the iPhone. But he didn’t ship it. The person who bought the donuts did.

  6. thebluthcompany: mattzakgoldmanstacks sent a link to a reddit thread where they discussed this scene.  In S01E10 “Pier Pressure” Buster is pulling out his Medical Marijuana binder from what we can assume are binders related to other ‘Studies’ that Buster has taken part in, and what we observe is a binder labeled: “HEMISPHERECTOMY SURGERY” A hemispherectomy is a very rare surgical procedure where one cerebral hemisphere (half of the brain) is removed or disabled. Might this explain a lot about why Buster as an adult is still needing constant supervision…. among other things… “may suffer problems with their vision as well.” “Feeling tired or depressed.” “…you lose use of the hand opposite of the hemisphere that was removed.” Q: “What Risks Are Associated With a Functional Hemispherectomy? A: Delayed (or arrested) development. [via] This.Is.Brilliant. Mind blown.

  7. ShortFormBlog: North Carolina town devastated by ponzi scheme →

    shortformblog:

    • 50k the number of people taken in by a $600 million ponzi scheme called ZeekRewards … in North Carolina alone. The multi-level marketing scheme, which started as a penny auction site called Zeekler, was launched by Lexington, NC resident and former nursing-home magician Paul Burks, and…

    So good to see my hometown in the news. Calling Lexington “devastated” is a bit much though I’m sure it sucks hard for the people who got taken.
