Has it been three years already?!

February was a month of big milestones for us, possibly the most exciting of which was that you guys viewed Tumblr more than a BILLION times. That’s 36 million times a day, 25,000 times a minute, and more than 400 times a second!

To say thank you, we have some beautiful, free, and awesome features we’ll be pushing this week.

And follow us on Twitter for some special news.

Thank you!!

“

If you’ve got a model where revenue is tied only to web page views, switching to full-content RSS feeds will hurt, at least in the short term. The problem, I say, isn’t with full-content RSS feeds, but rather with a business model that hinges solely on web page views. The precious commodity that we, as publishers, have to offer advertisers is the attention of our readers. Web page views are a terribly inaccurate, if not outright misleading, metric for attention. Subscribers to a full-content RSS feed are among the readers paying the most attention, but generate among the least web page views.

A reader asking for a full-content RSS feed is a reader who wants to pay more attention to what you publish. There have to be ways to thrive financially from that.

“At its core, content strategy isn’t really about content inventories, or messaging, or publishing calendars, or governance policies. It’s a way of thinking that has direct impact on the way we do business. And the way we do business must include a clear focus on how we create, deliver, and govern our content. Because more than ever before in the history of commerce, content has become one of our most valuable business assets.”

“This aerial, taken from the Canada Life Building in [1935], shows a moment in time before the Victorian (Edwardian?) city vanishes forever: no tall buildings north of Queen’s Park, the Ward intact (along with the Gaol Tzedek synagogue and the Armouries), mature trees on University Avenue, lighting that almost seems surreal in its brightness” (via Urban Toronto)
