Since it became clear that Yahoo was going to buy Tumblr, Wordpress saw the number of blog imports from Tumblr rise from about 400 an hour to more than 72,000. That's a ridiculous jump — and also a stupid one. Here's why you shouldn't leave Tumblr just because it's under new management. Read More >>

Backdrops are called backdrops for a reason—they're designed to fade against the focus of a particular scene. But as a new single-serving Tumblr called Anime Backgrounds proves, sometimes the best art is to be found behind the characters. Read More >>
Latte art. It's tickled the fancy of many a cafe-goer as they gaze at the magical flower-patterned milk floating upon a sea of velvety espresso. This dude right here, though? He laughs in the face of your measly rosetta. Read More >>
Though most video games never involve a player having too drop a deuce, video game worlds always seem to have dirty toilets in even dirtier restrooms. Who uses these toilets and why are they universally dirty! Video Game Toilets rounds up the toilets found in video games—it spans from like the early 80's until now—in a hilarious Tumblr. Here are a few we love (the one above is from F.E.A.R. 3). Read More >>

Stop what you're doing right now and start scrolling through this Tumblr of colourful images of planes and bridges and mats and packaging and other everyday items morphing into each other. It's called I'm Google, an ongoing art project that finds beautiful patterns in otherwise benign and boring images Google Image search results. Read More >>
New tumblr alert: Before VFX. It's a revealing collection of pictures that show what movies look like before any sort of visual effects are added. Which basically means it makes every movie, even Oscar-worthy movies, look completely ridiculous. The magic of the movies! Read More >>
If you use Tumblr, or Facebook, or Twitter, or any site like that, you'll know that they're all complete time sucks. Hopping onto Tumblr is especially dangerous because of all the rabbit holes you can crawl into — food, tasteful nudes, fashion, tasteful nudes, animated gifs, tasteful nudes, virally reblogged reblogs, and other stuff like tasteful nudes. It's like if each Tumblr post was singing for your attention. Read More >>

Meet Zendesk. Chances are, you've never heard of it -- that's ok, it just provides support for some of the biggest tech companies going, including Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Vodafone and Disney. And, in what seems like the latest spate of the hack-happy February we're going through, some anonymous hackers have had their dasterdly ways with Zendesk, nicking details relating to some of its big-name customers in the process.

It's barely been a day since iOS 6's native Maps app was released to the world, and already there's a steady stream of mapsasters that have everyone not-so-secretly wishing a standalone Google Maps app gets released ASAP. Read More >>

Tumblr has long had an iOS app, and it's was OK. But now it's totally retooled it, adding a bunch of new features focused around making Tumblr easier to use on your mobile device. Long story short, you'll probably be reposting cat GIFs from your iPhone more often. Read More >>
Judging by Google popularity, the word "tumblr" will be a more common search term than "blog" before the end of the year. Welcome to the future, where the majority of web sites sound like band names. Read More >>
Tumblr, preeminent internet fount of animated GIFs, fleeting memes, and copyright infringement, has one terrific thing going for it: the only human-friendly, genuinely funny terms of service we've ever encountered on the internet. Read More >>
Great ideas for band names pop up all the time. Just last week, Vapour Rush was suggested as a possible name for my future Brit Rock project — a phrase stolen from a medical device designed to treat emphysema. But those weird little phrases, previously tossed aside and forgotten about, actually get put to use these days: as Tumblr sites. Read More >>
