Статистика безымянной овцы, очевидно, вся перекошена из-за твиттера, который сюда транслировался почти полгода — сначала в виде ссылок, потом в виде аккуратных текстовых постов. Как бы там ни было, результат один и тот же — в небольшой аккуратной и безымянной овце внутри большой бардак (который мы все тут, конечно же, мечтаем почистить и свести во вселенский порядок специальными овчарками и пастухами). Есть куда стремиться.
Нет, но 1860 постов! Мамадарагайа.

Пост 58557539
В Tumblr наконец открылась функция “Like”: простой способ дать понять, что вам понравился чей-то пост. Обратная связь для авторов. Станет ли это способом не только поблагодарить, но и «поставить закладку» и «рассказать друзьям» (как это происходит во Френдфиде), будет видно дальше.
Пост 25093869
This Silicon Alley Insider article discusses Tumblr’s recent growth. It’s currently getting over 700,000 page views per day, more than 2/3 of which go to actual tumblelogs. The rest are to the Tumblr homepage, the Dashboard, and other non-tumblelog pages. I probably check my Dashboard 20 times a day; there are no other sites I check regularly except Gmail and Kottke.
I imagine these numbers will just continue to grow as more people discover that maintaining your own blog is more satisfying than maintaining a profile on a social networking site. As I’ve said before, a comparison to being a homeowner vs. living in a housing project is appropriate.
The “Posts” statistic does not include stuff imported from feeds, as some users make their Flickr or Twitter streams import automatically. That’s 43,000 manual posts, every day - as fellow investor Bijan points out, more than 1/3 of what Wordpress generates.

New Tumblr formatting makes reblogged items suck
Tumblr introduced new default reblogging format. Added blockquotes for reblogged items might actually be cool from the point of view of ideology and semantics. But it is a total disaster for previously compact and lean layouts. Especially when blockquotes become multi-layer several-levels deeply-nested threads.
Ugh. Ugly.

Интересно, фильтры парни из тамблера запустили без всякого анонса: http://b23.ru/e8t. Что и где они ещё изменили, спрашивается?
Список отписанных тамблогов
Раньше здесь был чудесный твит, который можно было бы смело удалить, но мы его используем как пустой контейнер. Здесь я буду копить свой список тех тамблогов, от которых невыносимо захотелось отписаться, но терять на них ссылки не хочется. И на 144-й странице (или какая она там сейчас уже) никто не найдет, пока не начнёт рыть через теги.

Featurequests
Since I never can settle for simple-but-not-yet-there interfaces, I decided to collect a short list of things that I would like to improve on.
Shortcuts in the linkbar
Number one feature for always-around type of user is instant access to editing via small linkbar with links to sign out and “publish” section. It’s great, but lacks links to instant posting. Yeah, those:
Regular Post | Photo | Quote | Link | Conversation | Video
So I suppose that linkbar in the screenshot above could be somewhat improved with those links placed instead of “Add/Edit link” (which could be consequently renamed to “Edit/Settings”). Less clicks to post — happier blogger. No?
Documentation!
Tumblr is great in many ways (especially great for its simplicity and fo so much automagic inside), but I miss some helpful hints: about using different things in theme template (
how many date formats are there? How does the whole post/date looping work?Etc.) and about defaults such as HTML filtering (can we have the list of what’s going the way of dodo? Filtering seemingly filters out perfectly normal H3 tags so I had to turn it off for myself).Some tutorials or some blog posts about advanced usage and techniques would be great, but I guess you guys at Davidville would consider it an overkill…
UPD: Oh well, there’s already some nice progress on custom themes documentation!
Smoothed edges
There are also some minor things (no links to homepage/FAQ from /publisher* pages, no table of contents in FAQ for quick scanning, no form of feedback for signed-in users - it would be more fun than email,
featured blogs section on the homepage is kind of short, so I have to refer to blog for more samples) which also could be improved(already in the works along with other cool stuff, and started to come true as Tumblr Radar), but it’s more of a “next thing to do after we’re done” and an icing on the cake. I could really use link to the homepage, but FAQ isn’t of much use to me now as it’s quite hollow after I got thru the first several stages/steps.External access
As good as planned API might be, support of Metaweblog API or Atom might enable users to come with their favourite blog-clients, which might help to make posting even more convinient. Link post types to the “categories” in metaweblog api, and everything should work without any issues, I guess.
Some other stuff (added here as I find new stuff of note):
- In the theme preview there’s no prev/next paging link example. (Increase number of test posts or decrease number of blogs per page for preview?)
- Page titles are all the same (for /publisher and all — otherwise all the open tabs in browser seem to be the same faceless “Tumblr”: Tumblr, again Tumbler, yet again Tumbler. And browser history is all the same — whether it was homepage or settings, post text or post link — they are absolutely all the same.
