Tumblr Advisor Board

I think it could be cool to put together a board of the top Tumblristas in the world, that could see previews of what's coming up and advise on strategic direction. Who should be on it?

Okay, look. We're gonna do it like this, Matt. I used to work in market research. This one is free, next time I expect a month of free premium and if there's a third time I expect a job.


TO EVERYONE ELSE:

A series of ten reblogs is about to follow, since you can only have one poll per reblog. Please answer all ten polls. If you don't see them all, check the notes (this shouldn't take me long so if it's more than like, fifteen minutes since I posted this one they should all be there.)

I mostly reblog others' posts

I write original posts

I make/post memes

I make/post images or gifs

4) thinking about the recent Tumblr feature release/rollback, what did you find most frustrating?

There was no communication before the fact

I felt like the feature didn't take Tumblr users' wants and needs into account

I felt like the feature showed a lack of understanding of Tumblr culture

I felt the feature would hurt Tumblr culture

I felt the feature would hurt Tumblr artists and small makers specifically

I wasn't bothered by the change

It happened so fast I didn't even know until it was all over

6) thinking about features you use on Tumblr, what would you like to see improved?

The recent UI changes to reblogging are too confusing

I'd like tagging to be easier

I'd like to see the tagging system overhauled

I'd like to see the reporting/adult tagging system improved

I'd like a separate page for my communities

I'd like to be able to mark posts as for my followers only

I'd like to see the blocking system improved

I'm happy with Tumblr as it is

Say Hello to Marc!

This introduction has been way overdue :)

Marc LaFountain joined us nearly a year ago, and if you’ve ever emailed us, there’s a good chance you’ve already met.

Soon after launching Tumblr, Marco and I found ourselves overwhelmed with community feedback.  Marc saved us, helping us organize and respond to thousands of users.

When he started full-time in May, the title Community Ambassador seemed appropriate.  Since then, he’s shown us just how lucky we are to have a superbly helpful and organized Ambassador to everyone doing neat stuff with Tumblr.

Marc lives in Richmond, Virginia with his wife, Francisca, and their three cats, Simon, Gracie, and Zora. In his free time, he loves travel and reading as well as anything related to politics, Apple, or the Amazon Kindle.
