tumblr

Id have to start a whole new blog to organize my 21k photos :| It would probably be closer to 8k considering my blogs theme has changed quite a bit but now Ive found the perfect fit for it.
 
i'm no tech geek, but i'm pretty sure that yes, yes they do. you have an explanation of how a lossy format does not degrade upon being re-saved?
 
Could we be talking about different things? I'm referring to saving a picture from a website to your hard drive. Then say transferring to a USB drive. No loss there.
 
alright. apparently every time a jpeg is re-saved, as in opened and then some clicks "save as," it loses quality. but transferring from the internet to your hard drive is a direct copy, and does not involve loss. that latter bit of information is news to me. i was under the impression that by copying an image from a website to my hard drive, it was subject quality loss. you and other semi-legit sources say otherwise. i'm only 90% convinced. it really feels like the image loses quality. maybe it is the difference between viewing the image in my browser of choice and my image viewer of choice.

either way, as jpegs are passed around, they are re-saved. negatively affecting the overall quality of images on this planet.
 
Yeah if I were you I would try organizing everything into a few separate blogs. I have 5+ different blogs each with their own content so I can separate things I've 'liked' into one area and keep it all saved so I can browse through later. It'll take you a while to go through all the photos but it'll be worth it.. and once it's over with, you can continue organizing your favorite images into those blogs so that you won't have to worry about sorting through a few thousand photos again

ready for the yahoo! take over?
 
i'm absolutely horrified. how are you going to monetize a bunch of harry potter otp fandom blogs and "fashion photography" trying not to be child porn? tumblr "only" made 15 million dollars last year buy selling "promoted" posts to people like american apparel and coca cola. yahoo doesn't know what to do with the good things it gets (flickr) and will just end up ruining everything. i have no idea where i'm going to go if what looks like is going to happen happens. i mean tumblr has totally changed how i feel about the internet. i see pictures of murals and art that i see again in juxtapoz two months later, but it doesn't matter because my organization has already bitten, reblogged, promoted and shared that mural in valencia before juxtapoz could even send a photographer. in that way, it's totally made my job easier and put us in a better position in our field. i'm not sure where this kind of culture will be able to thrive. and by 'this culture' i mean women. i'm a redditor, but only post in a select few subreddits, and even then sometimes faced by shitheads with nothing better to do than follow me around. sometimes i go to /mu/ to see what the cretins are listening to. the average pinterest user is something like 37, and there is no room for the 16 yr old serbian girl writing fan fiction, or the 22 yr old american girl making bondage porn gifs, or 13 year olds making one direction gif sets. where will all my armchair liberal social justice bloggers go?

yahoo has never had success with any single one of their million or billion dollar acquisitions. i doubt tumblr is going to break the cycle. anyone wanna be my friend on livejournal?

someone on tumblr needs to make an 'internet angel' to pray to like the fourteen holy helpers. that we can pray to for tumblr, and when twitter breaks, and when facebook updates their privacy policy.

maybe it could help you get organized, but it's a shopping website and it's next up on the plate (according to wsj) to be bought out by a big fish - some sources say they are looking for a buyer. and fuck that website. i don't care about weddings.
 
i don't care about weddings. maybe i wouldn't like pinterest.

i've noticed the average tumblr-er seems to be younger than me though. i think it's making me cool again. teenagers curating media created by adults. that's an entire reality.
 
from unscientific polling, most of the people i follow are my age, or comfortably close. the youngest person i follow is 14, and she's from serbia. she's obsessed with kristen stewart (<3) and draco malfoy. the oldest person i follow (who i don't know in real life) is 33 and she makes the most beautiful game of thrones things.
