Whoa! I don’t know much about sports but I know that the Knicks on Tumblr is a total homerun!
Josh:
Just dropped off a bunch of meetup kits to be mailed. The USPS lady and I are best friends now.
One of my favorite things Blackbook has done with Tumblr is crowd source interview questions using the Answers feature.
Foster, Blackbook’s Assistant Editor and Tumblr Ringleader, interviewed the French band Air for the magazine last week, and opened up the interview to the Tumblr community. He got amazing questions— from nedhepburn’s “Given the vast differences between each album do u make music for yrselves or to keep yr audience guessing?” (we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume the “yr” is due to the character limit) to realish’s “What do you think of the recent mainstream success of fellow Frenchmen Phoenix?”
The best part? Blackbook reported back the next day and promised that whatever questions he used would be credited in Blackbook. How refreshingly ethical!
Yesterday, they held a music trivia contest to give away swag to their Tumblr followers.
Today, I got an email from Foster announcing that Blackbook had passed me in Tumblarity. :(
Good game, gentlemen.
We’re kicking off a series of concerts to showcase the incredible talent on Tumblr. We’ll be holding the first one August 10th in our hometown of NYC.
Submit your band by July 22nd, 2009 for a chance at ultimate glory and $500!
Automatically publish to your Facebook News Feed
We’ve seen a bunch of junky Facebook integrations by publishing platforms, and we wanted to make sure we did you, your blogs, and your News Feeds justice.
So today we’re very excited to announce Facebook publishing, built into Tumblr, that makes your posts look hot.
Activate it here. Enjoy!
In art class today, I passed a piece of paper round the class with the heading “What do you think Tumblr is?”.
Little do they know that they were no where near what Tumblr actually is.
If you weren’t seeing your “Tumblr crushes” on the Following page, we just fixed a bug that was incorrectly hiding it for some people.

Robin’s Reports
Many of us use blogs to reach out, to share our lives with family and friends. Blogs can allow us to keep up with people we don’t get to see everyday. For the family of three-year-old Robin Sinclair, Robin’s Reports is providing a vital link with their loved ones in a time of crisis.
On June 10th, Robin was diagnosed with leukemia. Her family is sharing stories, pictures, and videos as she battles the disease with chemotherapy treatments. It’s been heartwarming to watch Robin and her family support each other with such courage and love. Let’s all wish Robin a speedy and full recovery.
