Deepthinking is Less enthralled with tumblr these days

deepthinking:

I haven’t really grown tired of it but I now have an iPad and find two aspects of it keeping me away from tumblr these:

  1. The iPhone app is great but they really need to step up the game and get an iPad/tablet app out…relying on the iPhone app on the iPad is seriously constraining
  2. Other than Flipboard, there seems to be no other real way of interacting with tumblr other than tumblr…keeping yourself in a silo is not the way to grow in the end

I’m not sure if tumblr just missed the boat on the iPad or they are consciously ignoring it…and if they are ignoring it, they are ignoring it at their own peril.

I find the Tumblr experience on iPad unfun, since it’s nearly impossible to edit there

  • Complex organisation arises from webs of interaction among causal factors | So, it turns out that DNA is, in fact, a great metaphor for business culture, but only after you realize that DNA is not a few hundred off-on switches, but instead a universe of unknowable complexities, that we can interact with, and understand at some abstract cartoonish level, but not control, and never fully comprehend.
