I really hope Kalinda used a VPN and proxy server. :D
But seriously, tho… she busts so many others due to their traceable “IP address,” i was a lil bummed she did this on a network she doesn’t p0wn.
We will not speak of her hard drive name. #sideeye

1) Tag (search) - is it broken/out of chronological order?
Hard to tel, coz “repetition” of items (via reblogging) is the natural order of things on Tumblr.
Update: Tumblr, via support email), has acknowledged a tag/search bug, says they’re working on it.
2) Infinite scroll hangs a lot lately
For the past week, infinite scrolling in the Dashboard has hung alot, forced me to hard refresh (and lose “my spot” in the feed)
3) The new audio player is broken for many
[Update: April 17, 2013: Audio player is now working for me in the environments listed below, and I’m not alone.]
(Previous to the bug fix:)
I work on multiple operating systems. The new player is cool, but at no point has the new audio player worked for me on Windows 7 (Chrome nor Internet Explorer nor Firefox, not in the Dashboard, not on people’s public-facing Tumblrs).
I’m not alone.
What about y’all?
Noticing any of this?
h/t to @equartey (below) for starting the thread.
Everything is out of chronological order - it’s like the twilight zone. Is this just me or is this something affecting other people as well?
UPDATE: Looks like it’s a bug. paul4allseasons got the following response from Tumblr Support:
Hello, Just wanted to let you know that this is not a new feature, but rather an issue that our engineers are aware of and will fix it as soon as they can. We appreciate your patience.
Thanks,
Tess
i’m working on a new hack tutorial for you guys. (spoiler: how to get Facebook Home running on… a Mac (!?))
Should be done by end of the week.
There is a #Girls joke.
(in the meantime- the Instagram-on-a-Mac hack.)
H&R Block was wondering if you guys know about any cool bitcoin parties happening this weekend.
a while back i wrote some tutorials on how to manage and upload photos from your laptop to instagram (no. phone. necessary.).
At least 300 people/day read them. i wrote them for agency people (instagram’s mobile-centric workflow can be a pain for professional use, it’s hard to manage multiple accounts on a single phone, etc).
but while i hear from agency professionals from time to time, the tutorials are mostly getting read by teenagers, especially teenagers in the Philippines and Malaysia.
translations welcome. :D
avi torture for spring.
Hillary Clinton IS Catherine Deneuve.
Fight me.
What Pinterest is calling a new “look” is less of a redesign, and more of a new version. There’s lotsa new stuff (“related” Pins, a la YouTube, huge discovery flow), and a lot of removed stuff (bye-bye “origin” trail, a la Tumblr, pout).
Many of these changes are of interest to marketers, but this post is gonna focus on the biggest one: The Twitter social graph (aka, “friend finder”) is now completely accessible in Pinterest.
In other words: you can find your Twitter community, and they can find you, in a much more straight-forward way.
Twitter social-graph access is a critical tool for marketers and businesses on social platforms, because Facebook friend-finding is pretty much useless for businesses: Pinterest lets you connect to your personal Facebook account, but your business’s hundreds/thousands of Facebook Page Likers are lost in a black hole, inaccessible to your business’s new presence.
Twitter’s all-accounts-are-the-same (no distinction between “real person” and “business page”) structure works much better for joining new networks, and bringing over a community.
But until now, Pinterest had been kinda half-assed about Twitter social-graph access.
In the old Pinterest, at time of sign-up, you got a decent one-time pass at finding your Twitter buddies. But after that, you only got occasional email about Twitter friends joining, and a wacky, peekaboo feed that came and went with some of your Twitter friends (not clearly marked as Twitter friends, btw).
When you clicked “see all” you were brought to a Find Friends page that DID NOT INCLUDE TWITTER, just Facebook, even though it was just showing you a preview of Twitter friends. This has driven me crazy for a year+.
Now let’s look at the new Pinterest Friend Finder.
This is more like it! Here are your Twitter friends!
Yay. Nothing like not having to rebuild your community from scratch.
Big + welcome news.
PS- It’s worth noting that this does not require you to declare your Pinterest account a “business” account, or to have verified your website. The Twitter social graph access applies to all accounts who have upgraded to the new Pinterest.
PPS- the new Pinterest is not without some bugs/unfortunate changes. While I’m very enthusiastic about the new Twitter social graph access, I still recommend a fully considered evaluation before upgrading your Pinterest account.
[Update March 20: Looks like the Sexual Favers have flamed out. Way less chatter about “favorite bots” as of March 19th]
original post:
Feelin’ on fire lately?
Think you’re a regular @robdelaney?
Sorry, baby. Those favers got a tweet in every port.
Spammers are exploiting a small inefficiency in how Twitter does rate limits/ suspends new accounts.
In general, new accounts have a tighter leash than aged accounts, and anything that just starts spewing links or @-ing people gets shut down fast.
However, the leash gets a little looser when it comes to favoriting tweets- and the world of weird spam has figured this out, so they’re spawning (and willing to let rapidly die) sexual favers.
I predict Twitter will soon adjust the “tripwire” for new accounts to include favorite activity as well.
