Carnet de Board @carnetdeboard-blog - Tumblr Blog

Facebook, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc. are tricking ‘traditional’ publishers. They are 100% in the same content business. They just own the entire stack. They also double as the printing press: As the content management system for millions of creators to express themselves. They also triple as the broadcast satellites: As the distribution engines for millions of creators to get guaranteed distribution for their content.

Prime Times on Tumblr: Post in the P.M. (in the U.S.) This graphic shows Tumblr’s peak activity, according to URL shortener Bit.ly. Rows represent days of the week. Columns show hours of the day, labeled for the Central time zone in North America. The darker the blue, the more Tumblr traffic during that hour. I’ve marked orange borders around the Tumblr prime times, showing higher activity during p.m. hours.

When is the best time to post to Tumblr?

This data is from May 2012, but it’s a fair bet that it’s still accurate.

One of the questions on our Tumblr Survey asked people to identify when they were most likely to be active on Tumblr: 75% of respondents said they were likely to be on between 5pm and 10pm, and 51% said they were likely to be on Tumblr between 11pm and 2am.

Just noticed the ignore icon. How long has that option existed?

It doesn’t show up in your normal dashboard - it only shows up when you hover over a post in one of your tracked tags. The image above is from a post in the “comics” tag.

I’m afraid to click it in case it blocks someone/hides all posts from a person. Anyone have any idea what it does?

What Tumblr did instead was to design a more thoughtful form of community engagement by requiring people to repost content in its original context rather than simply piping in an anonymous comment. According to Karp, this meant that people who had “put themselves out there” through a guitar performance or a poem were more likely to attract a sympathetic, encouraging community rather than trolls. He added that comments are “a second class feature” because a commentator is subsumed to a tiny text stream below the main piece of content. To foster engagement, Tumblr is instead choosing options like “Fan mail” which aspire to create more careful, thoughtful and elegant interactions.

Tumblr is not just a platform, it’s a community. A community of content creators and consumers. An average Tumblr user spends 1 hour and 38 minutes on the site per month doing nothing but consuming content.

Tumblr, représentatif des transformations sociales ?

Si la relation de l'usager à l'entité sociale communique à travers Tumblr, cela nous permettrait-il de comprendre, voire anticiper, les transformations des pratiques à un niveau sociétal plus général ?
