R.I.P. Tumblr
May. 20th, 2013 05:29 pm
Now that Yahoo has acquired Tumblr, it will suffer the same fate as Flickr--a slow and irrelevant death. Nice knowing you Tumblr! R.I.P. old friend :(
FYI Yahoo, purchasing up and coming youth-centric internet brands won't help you become relevant again. Your core services such as email, search and messaging have all gone the way of the dinosaur and no amount of hip and cool internet acquisitions will change that. Please do the internets a favor and just stop. Stop trying to be a middle aged man looking to recapture his glory years by buying a bunch of shiny new things, because it's over for you. It's been over for quite some time. Please accept your reality and die with grace and dignity (or what is left).
