Total drama day. It appears the 13 year old that owns or manages tumblr.com whipped up some hypocritical self-righteousness and started deleting all the tumblr pages that could be identified with the 30 day challenge. Wow, tough guy!

SEO niche keyword spammers have discovered that Tumblr matters and ranks well. Crap… They call themselves “affiliate marketers”. I call them scum, and I’ve already developed accurate heuristics for detecting them.

I guess we are supposed to be impressed with his heuristic skillz. I’m sure all the fanboyz will be soo happy that tumblr was saved from the evil affiliate marketers. Hehe… Kids and their playgrounds. You won a battle but lost a war. Just think about how many people you just pissed off by acting like an idiot. I can tell you what tumblr means to me … crap.

Moving onward to Ed and Dan. Ok, yeah, they had some damage control to do, but they are going overboard with apologies. Tumblr should be thanking Ed and Dan for the attention, traffic, and CONTENT. Just in case you hadn’t noticed, most tumblr diaries are worthless and devoid of content (maybe they should name change to ‘Dumblr’). At least 30 DC’ers were writing content.

Moving onward, the best thing that will come from this is it will force 30 DC’ers to move to a real platform to launch a sustainable content-driven IM business. I hated tumblr from the day we were told to use it. Good riddance.
