Happy belated blog birthday to myself. I hit four years about a month ago and didn’t realize it until now.

Report: Homeland Security watches Twitter, social media

newsweek:

think-progress:

We’re wondering if they’re on Tumblr?

These include social networking sites Facebook and My Space - though there is a parenthetical notice that My Space only affords a “limited search” capability - and more than a dozen sites that monitor, aggregate and enable searches of Twitter messages and exchanges.

News and gossip sites on the monitoring list include popular destinations such as the Drudge Report, Huffington Post and “NY Times Lede Blog”, as well as more focused techie fare such as the Wired blogs “Threat Level” and “Danger Room.” Numerous blogs related to terrorism and security are also on the list. 

Aw, Homeland Security thinks MySpace is still a thing! That’s cute.

Ha, I would argue that Tumblr’s search capability is pretty limited too (but, you know, more just because it’s laughably bad).

I posted that thing about Fan Mail, and two minutes later got an “over capacity” error.

staff:

We’ll be rolling out Fan Mail — a new interblog messaging service — over the next few days for everyone.
You’ll be able to send Fan Mail from your Inbox, avatar menus, or with the icon in the top corner of the blogs you follow.
Have fun!

Hey Tumblr!
How about you focus on keeping the goddamn site from crashing instead of working on bullshit things like making a less legible version of something you can already accomplish with an ask message?
Thanks!

Tumblr’s hatred of Columbus Day is really fucking my “Columbus” tracked tag.
