Tumbeasts

The Tumbeasts are now the official Tumblr Error Pet, pretty much like what the Fail Whale is to Twitter. The Oatmeal (actually Matthew Inman) is responsible for the creation of the artwork, originally named Tumblbeasts they were renamed Tumbeasts by the Tumblr Staff, hope we see these creatures less and less, but if Tumblr continues to grow, we doubt so.  You can visit Tumblr New Error Page here.

How to Download Videos from Tumblr

When you follow a large group of people it is difficult to watch all posted videos at one time, and if you truly like one, you sure want to keep it and save it to enjoy it later.  Downloading videos from Tumblr is easy when you just have a YouTube or Vimeo video, since there are some many free online downloaders outhere, but when it comes to video clips or other type of media uploaded to Tumblr itself, it’s a bit more complicated. To get all the videos you want, you need to have Firefox installed along with an Addon called VideoDownloadHelper.

Can’t Login to Tumblr with Firefox


If you are having trouble logging in to your Tumblr account when using Firefox (even when you know that password and username are correct), the problem is always related to two main things; Cookies and Firefox Version.

Tumblr Sends Most Followed and Reblogged Fashion Bloggers to NYFW





First, Tumblr raised $ 25 million dollars in funding,  almost two months later the first signs of that money getting invested start manifesting.  A new hire, more precisely a Fashion Director (Were you expeting to hear the word Engineer?), Rich Tong, founder of weardrobe.com. According to Fashionista, Tong’s first idea was to send aroung 20 Fashion Tumblr bloggers to New York Fashion Week.

How were these fashion bloggers chosen?.  Maybe the one that pasted more  copyrighted pics, or the one who liked Elle magazine the most?.  Probably just because these Tumblelogs in particular (among them are What I Wore, Peace Love Chanel and SarahZucker) have a huge base of followers.

Tumblr is also hosting the NYFW in a real time feed.  Hope it doesn’t go down at all, since there seems to be some Media Partners content in there as well, and they are expecting a flood of unique visitors to their Tumblr “alternative channel” sites.

Is this the right move when comes to spend your investor’s greens?.  Maybe an agreement with magazines to throw exclusive content for Tumblr would be better?.  We will be waiting how the Tumblr Fashion community reacts once these Fashion bloggers start pouring fresh New York Fashion Week content into their Tumblelogs.  If it happens to be explosive, Tumblr would show the Fashion Industry how influential they can be.
