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.

as long as Marissa is in charge, I do have confidence in Yahoo… and the gif did not disappoint!

theremina:

Around a million, billion neutrinos from the Sun will pass through your body while you read this sentence.

A nutrino is a neutral sub-atomic particle of such small mass that it passes through matter undisturbed.

Its mass has never before been measured accurately and this picture is a device that was set up to detect nutrinos, as VERY ocasionaly they will colide with matter producing energy in the form of light/heat. but this energy is so small that it is virtually undetectable.

Nutrinos are formed from redioactive decay, or nuclear reactions, which is why the sun gives of so many.

How to give proper credit to artists without knowing who they are

I appreciate reblogging the shit out of this if anybody wouldn’t mind.

Sick of art going around and artists not getting proper credit at all.

This x100000000.

FYI they wanted $15-40 per page for a fully colored comic page that they would take all rights to and resell.

ah I wish this post got more attention. When I was younger I got roped into giving away a lot of work for dirt cheap just because I was so flattered for being asked.

Be very very wary of any job offers that come through Deviantart or conventions. These people don’t follow your work with any sort of passion, they are scouting for anyone who can just draw in the style they need. It’s actually where people like these are advised to go for cheap art. If you are in the market for freelance set up a proper portfolio site with an email address for soliciting work. The people who are genuinely convicted about their concept will care enough to need the security granted by respected and fairly-paid staff to produce it with them. Kickstarter exists for a reason.

Spread the word, m’fuckas:

Art is work. If you want work done for you, expect to pay for it. This applies to hiring artists as much as it applies to hiring artists.

This is the exact opposite of “complicated.”

:D

I didn’t even get to the price negotiations one time (mainly because I kept saying no to the job in the first place) but was instead being tempted into things with incredibly fishy promises of the commissioner knowing some ‘anime producers’. Upon questioning it he blew up in my face so I sent him a good smackdown in return via a note and blocked him on DA. The best part was that even in my rage my writing was still a lot more solid than his and he is supposedly a writer. Upon checking his page it seemed to me that he was always going after people who he had perfect projects for which was another red flag in my mind. I’m sure had we gotten to price negotiations it’d probably have gone around something like the above pictures, especially since he wanted me to draw his comic.

Gotta love DA sometimes.
