Daft Punk | Get Lucky
One of my favorites off R.A.M
We’re up all night ‘til the sun
We’re up all night to get some
We’re up all night for good fun
We’re up all night to get lucky
if you are actually stupid enough to make fun of someone’s social anxiety, or any mental illness in general, or tell them they’re lying and that they are perfectly fine while they sit there shaking and trying not to cry because they don’t know how to handle a situation, I most likely hate you and you should just get the fuck out.
Enough said

I’m delighted to announce that we’ve reached an agreement to acquire Tumblr!
We promise not to screw it up. Tumblr is incredibly special and has a great thing going. We will operate Tumblr independently. David Karp will remain CEO. The product roadmap, their team, their wit and irreverence will all remain the same as will their mission to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve. Yahoo! will help Tumblr get even better, faster.
Tumblr has built an amazing place to follow the world’s creators. From art to architecture, fashion to food, Tumblr hosts 105 million different blogs. With more than 300 million monthly unique visitors and 120,000 signups every day, Tumblr is one of thefastest-growing media networks in the world. Tumblr sees 900 posts per second (!) and 24 billion minutes spent onsite each month. On mobile, more than half of Tumblr’s users are using the mobile app, and those users do an average of 7 sessions per day. Tumblr’s tremendous popularity and engagement among creators, curators and audiences of all ages brings a significant new community of users to the Yahoo! network. The combination of Tumblr+Yahoo! could grow Yahoo!’s audience by 50% to more than a billion monthly visitors, and could grow traffic by approximately 20%.
In terms of working together, Tumblr can deploy Yahoo!’s personalization technology and search infrastructure to help its users discover creators, bloggers, and content they’ll love. In turn, Tumblr brings 50 billion blog posts (and 75 million more arriving each day) to Yahoo!’s media network and search experiences. The two companies will also work together to create advertising opportunities that are seamless and enhance user experience.
As I’ve said before, companies are all about people. Getting to know the Tumblr team has been really amazing. I’ve long held the view that in all things art and design, you can feel the spirit and demeanor of those who create them. That’s why it was no surprise to me that David Karp is one of the nicest, most empathetic people I’ve ever met. He’s also one of the most perceptive, capable entrepreneurs I’ve worked with. His respect for Tumblr’s community of creators is awesome, and I’m absolutely delighted to have him and his entire team join Yahoo!.
Both Tumblr and Yahoo! share a vision to make the Internet the ultimate creative canvas by focusing on users, design — and building experiences that delight and inspire the world every day.
We’ll see.
I’m still not using Yahoo, though. Anyone here who is not using Yahoo will continue to not use Yahoo, because just by buying a site doesn’t mean your visitors will suddenly skyrocket. If I owned a restaurant and bought one that was a mile away with an entirely different bread and butter crowd, but did nothing to change the original restaurant, the people who frequented the place I just bought will not suddenly flock to the original restaurant.
Yeah…I still really don’t like this whole thing. It’s all very unsettling. And I still don’t understand how they think it’s going to work. I mean, I won’t be using Yahoo because there’s nothing it can offer me (I already use Google stuff and I’m content with it)…and it’s probably safe to say the same for a good number of users on this site. Not to mention their target audience (young and old) that they want to use Yahoo isn’t exactly what they’re going to find on Tumblr.
We will see, Yahoo, if you hold up to your “promise not to screw it up” (which, by the way, is a horrible thing to say and not reassuring in the slightest). Considering your track record and some of your statements in this very blog post…you’re not convincing me. At all.
