Just a couple random thoughts on a Sunday night…
- Is it just me or does the Dashboard sometimes entirely miss a reblog? It’s really strange, I usually click on my own name on the right hand side to keep up on likes/reblogs, and lately it seems like it misses a reblog now and again, seemingly randomly. Just feels counterproductive to waste all this effort on tumblarity and then screw up the only tumblr relationships I actually care about.
- On the subject of tumblarity, how useful is a system where it takes a whole bunch of posts/likes/reblogs/etc to move from 12 to 47, but the “leaders” are in the 79,000 range? I mean, I’ve been at this a while, I follow 170 people or so, spend an absurd amount of time on the dashboard reading, and have a greatly appreciated 40 followers. Should you really be rewarded for incessant posting and echo-chamber reblogging more than actual interaction and original posts? This whole tumblarity thing feels like an out-of-character miss for the Tumblr folks.
- Finally, in the pro-column, I love the subtle improvements to the bookmarklet popup window. It’s the little things that get me.
