Cover Fridays

A historical question: I have a vague memory that it was either Bijan or Fred that started the cover Friday tradition, but I’m not certain. Anyone have a better memory than me
Whit: I believe this is the answer to your question.
The history of Cover Fridays.
Hello, comments are back on
A few months ago I turned comments off on my Tumblr. I explained my thoughts at the time.
Today I’m turning them back on. At least for the time being.
Why?
Because I’m thinking my presence and participation on Tumblr really does exists inside and outside the Tumblr Dashboard. I’m a dual citizen :)

One Cloud To Rule Them All ?
These days I’ve got my stuff in the cloud.
Or I should say clouds.
I’ve got stuff in iCloud (beta), Dropbox, Evernote, Simplenote, Crashplan, Google Apps, and others that I’m leaving out.
At our partners meeting this week, we reviewed a few other startups that are building cloud lockers where my stuff could and will likely end up.

My dual citizenship on Tumblr
The more I spend time on tumblr and pay attention to my own interactions, the more they are in sync with the data & metrics we see in the boardroom and on quantcast.
The vast majority of interaction and engagement happens in the Tumblr feed which is called the Tumblr Dashboard. This behavior started to develop early last year and then only accelerated.
Essentially, logged in users drive the...

Greplin makes the cloud better
There are very few desktop apps running on my Macs. Mostly everything I do is running off the browser (few exceptions: adobe lightroom & skype).
So that means the vast majority of my data is in the cloud. It’s in Google Apps, dropbox, evernote, tumblr, twitter, and delicious.
But finding my data, when i need it, in a super fast way, is increasingly becoming a challenge - especially...
