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!!

  6. IF you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    ’ Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
    if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And - which is more - you’ll be a Man, my son!

  9. Amigos, seguidores y viceversa

    La amistad es una virtud que se ha convertido en un factor determinante a la hora de recibir información relevante o buenas recomendaciones en las diferentes redes sociales que conocemos y que aún están por llegar.

    Aún así por la propia idiosincrasia del medio en el que nos movemos, Internet, en el que las relaciones por decirlo de algún modo más que de amistad están basadas en lazos de afinidad con un toque de promiscuidad (hoy soy tu amigo, mañana quizá no me interese tanto y puede que te borre de mis contactos) no podemos llamar amigos con todas las letras a esos contactos con los que nos une algo, siendo ese algo cualquier cosa.

    Puede que alguno lo sea, e incluso puede que se forje una nueva amistad a raíz de un gusto compartido por la fotografía o el cine (por poner algún ejemplo) pero para qué nos vamos a engañar, uno ya tiene su circulo de amigos establecido y pocas veces este se ve alterado; no se puede forzar por por una mera coincidencia de aficiones o geográfica.

    Por otra parte, de igual manera que uno puede disfrutar de una gran afinidad de gustos con otro usuario sin necesidad de que por ello les una fuerte amistad, tampoco es necesario que nos interese TODO lo que tenga que ver con nuestros amigos, aunque sí la gran mayoría de cosas. Son dos conceptos muy similares pero bastante diferentes.

    Sin duda este es uno de los grandes retos que los servicios y redes sociales han de afrontar a la hora de crear un sistema de interacción entre sus usuarios: encontrar una forma de presentar a nuestros contactos, sin necesidad de elevar al grado de amistad una relación basada en un vínculo de afinidad, un simple interés por la actividad de otra persona que nos puede resultar relevante, seguir, followear… y hacerlo de la manera más clara posible, que el usuario se sienta cómodo.

    Porque si no el término amistad acaba devaluándose y pierde todo su significado. Todos conocemos el dicho “Eres más falso que un amigo de Facebook”.

In 1965 Edward White became the second human and the first American to walk in space (the first was Russian cosmonaut Alexei Leonov). This restored photo shows him and the 25 foot long gold-plated tether which attached him to his small craft Gemini 4. Ed White was killed in 1967 while training for Apollo 1.
