It's fascinating how similar the announcements are. And "incredible journey" becomes a phrase devoid of all meaning after scrolling through two pages of that tumblr.
That was depressing. :( There's something about this whole thing... one or two huge companies that buy up every fun site or service in the universe and then closing them. It makes me sad.
And now I guess it's time to prepare for the closing of Tumblr in the future. Grr.
It's incredibly upsetting to see that. So many new, creative companies that are initially funded with VC seed money, only to disappear two or three years later once Google, Yahoo or Facebook buys them out, mostly to grab the people, but leaving the actual creations those people created to die.
How much chance is there of setting something up that can import from Tumblr to DW before Yahoo shuts Tumblr down? I believe Tumblr has a fairly plausible API, right? It's too big a project for me, sadly, but it would be a huge boost to DW if someone could do it!
