Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog
Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.
I love Tumblr. I really do. I have e-mailed Marc the occasional suggestions to improve the user interface and SEO-friendliness of the post structure. Each time Marc e-mails me back to thank me for the input and to let me know that he has forwarded my suggestion to the development team.
But I take umbrage over Tumblr’s latest addition to the dashboard … the Tumblarity index. I lead a pretty quiet life. I have a beautiful, happy and healthy little boy who just turned 4 years old, a job that I really enjoy, good friends, a supportive and loving family and an amazing girlfriend. Life is pretty good … until I log into Tumblr and see that my Tumblarity - which I can only assume is my popularity rating amongst the Tumblr community - is sporting a big fat ZERO.
Thanks, guys. Way to smack around my ego. Is there any way we can turn that off? Make it optional? Sure, for the really popular people like 147xxxx.tumblr.com, whose Tumblarity is off the chart, it’s a great thing. But for the average Joe who just likes to vent to no one in particular at all, why should I be subjected to a popularity contest?
Is anyone else having flashbacks to high school? No? So, it’s just me, right?
My Tumblarity has reached an all-time high of … wait for it … 16. Cue the sad trombone!
25. And I was feeling pretty good about my Tumblr popularity until I went to the Tumblarity page only to find that I am not in fact that popular. Meh.
