New Tumblr controls: great new Tumblr controls with changing messages, retina (?) and a few sleek slide-in animations.  

Promoted gif: Since MG Siegler’s tweet they seem to be en vogue. Still I’d have to agree that promoting a gif to a sponsored post in Tumblr was a smart idea (here Calvin Klein).

Emotional Design: the way Tumblr greeted us today during scheduled maintenance downtime.

Get StickyTheme for free: those of you who visit the Thegodfounder regularly know that it’s gotten a new look not that long ago. Since it has been received very well I decided to make it a real, downloadable theme.

It’ll cost $19.90, but for the next 48 hours it’s going to be $5 for every reblogger and free for the first five.

Just make sure I can reach you and send you the link! Hope you’ll like it as much as I do. 

Tumblr featured post: first well done featured post I’ve seen so far. Ask for feedback by Forrst founder Kyle Bragger. 

Tumblr says Merry Christmas, so do I. Enjoy the festivities dear readers!

How’s this for an ad spot: Tumblr (@tumblr) in The Simpsons ”I am not Tumblr famous”.

Via Push the Movement.

Donwtime message: When Tumblr (@tumblr) is down it sometimes displays the following message -

We’re very sorry

Our servers are over capacity and certain pages may be temporarily unavailable. We’re working quickly to resolve the issue.

In the meantime, please consider donating to the Red Cross to help those in Japan who are in need of support.

They say they are sorry and working on the issue. But there are more important problems in the world, why don’t you go help out there for a moment and relax?
