Pretty much the coolest party venue I’ve ever been to, complete with #tumblr GIF projection on a 100 foot stone cliff jutting through the middle of the cathedral. W @gina @joshuanguyen @amandalynferri @teo1up. #tumblrrio (Taken with Instagram at Gamboa)

Today.

We jump so high!

#TumblrCuritiba!! Living dashboard; One Direction flash mob; tumblr tween madness.

15 hours on a plane… THIS IS NOT A PHOTO OPP JOSH NGUYEN!

Proof that we’re in a Ryan Gosling bubble.

“At this rate, theoretically, by 2094 every single Tumblr will be Ryan Gosling-based.”
—Topherchris

Also: Public Service Announcement: Feminist Ryan Gosling got a book deal. Tumblr asked Ryan Gosling’s (publicist) if he’d do a phone interview with us about his memedom. Publicist said no. STORYBOARD WONT STAND FOR THIS!

TUMBLR, TUMBLR, TUMBLR: WHY YOU SHOULD START YOUR OWN, RIGHT NOW

by Ruby Karp

3. NO JUDGY-NESS: That’s the other thing: it’s non-judgmental. You don’t have people being all like, boooo on you because there’s no space for it on your blog. People have two options: like it with a heart sign or they can re-blog it, which means they like it so much, they want to share it with their own followers. I mean, when you reblog, you can comment, but in general, people are super honest and not re-blogging to be passive-aggressive, which is something I can’t stand in general.

How Tumblr Changed My Life

Artists discovered, communities forged, presidents elected, marriages, bake-offs — even a kidney transplant. We choose a few favorite submissions when we asked users how Tumblr has impacted their lives. 

Tumblr does story about the NYTimes print archives. WNYC copublishes that story on its website. NPR plans radio piece about that copublished story. NYTimes does story about the original Tumblr story about the NYTimes. #OMG #META

Welcome to Storyboard

An introduction to Tumblr’s new home for community features.

All y’all with-it Tumblrers are surely up to speed on storyboard, but we wanted to weigh in with a reblog of this kickoff video because Storyboard is reported / edited by our dear old friend, the mega-talented Jessica Bennett. She’s the bespectacled star of this intro video, which we loved, not least because Bennett got to say her favorite word in the whole entire English language five times (AND GOT PAID FOR IT).

Jessica Bennett: F-bomb hustler, Tumblr gumshoe, Storyboard pioneer. Count us in.

Oh my god this is the nicest compliment anyone’s ever given me. «blushing»

editorial:

We’re excited to announce the official launch of Storyboard, our new hub for in-depth conversations with Tumblr’s creative community. We’ll be posting regular features on creators working in and around Tumblr’s massively diverse cosmos — writers, musicians, animators, scientists, artists, archivists, chefs, comedians, or anyone else with a great story to tell. Today we’re talking about Michael Stipe, the New York Times, Afghanistan, and the design mechanics of the Tumblr Dashboard.

We want to hear your stories too. If you’re interested in submitting a story (or even a story idea) for us to publish, just post it on Tumblr tagged with #storyboard. Our editors will monitor the tag and the community’s interactions there, promoting stories that resonate. And if your story really works, we’ll ask to expand it for publication on Storyboard itself.

Last but not least, if you find yourself in New York City on May 10, we’d love to hang out at the official Tumblr meetup celebrating Storyboard’s launch. It’s at Powerhouse Arena, 7-9pm, with drinks on us and several Tumblr celebrity mystery guests (cough Topherchris, Tommypom, cough).

FINALLY…. We are live! (Ed’s note: Chris Mohney and I seriously need a drink.)

Aaaaand, this took a little longer to make than I’d like to admit.

Anybody have a torrent of the premiere episode?
