Yahoo Acquires Tumblr For $1.1 Billion

The news was released this morning, but it has taken me until the end of the day to post about it. This morning it was announced that Yahoo purchased Tumblr for $1.1 billion. Can you imagine what you could do with that much? Apparently, buy out an entire social media platform. At Yow Yow! we like our Yahoo, but we like our Tumblr a little more only because Tumblr provides us with the inspiration to construct our “A Collection” posts. With this new acquisition, everyone is wondering how things will change. I read an article this morning that the number of WordPress users spiked last night as they migrated their Tumblrs over to my platform. I also heard Yahoo CEO Marissa Meyer promise “not to screw it up.”

“The product roadmap, their team, their wit and irreverence will all remain the same as will their mission to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve.”

With Tumblr going corporate, I could see a lot of great things coming out of this, but as always you can’t make everyone happy and there are certainly those that are unhappy. For now. Readers, I know some of you are on Tumblr. How do you feel about the new change? Will you stick with the company and remain loyal or will you make a switch?

A Collection Part 35

It used to take me over six months to go back to a blog that I haven’t visited in a while. With my new routine and schedule and the absence of homework, I am able to get through my blogs a lot quicker which frees up more time for me to be creative and to spend more time on posts that mean a lot to me instead of just posting and being done with it. Most of the photographs in this A Collection post came from one blog and go figure it’s called Thriving Twenties so of course we can relate hence why we love it.

Pretty Little Liars Annotations

Happy Pretty Little Liars Tuesday y’all!

The Urban Outfitters blog introduced me to a fetching new Tumblr yesterday called Pretty Little Liars Annotations and if you’re an avid fan like myself, then you will find every little bit of this humorous. I just went through 7 pages without even blinking and couldn’t explain to Kevin why I was snickering. He wouldn’t find it funny.

Enjoy wasting your time here.

Cabin Porn

With spring break just around the corner, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about getaways. I’ve never been much of a camper myself, with the tent and all, but I can appreciate nature and the outdoors. For those of you are are cabin-obsessed, please enjoy this Cabin Porn that I’ve found for you.

Pictures Of Astronauts

Happy Monday readers!

Every now and then the friends on my news feed surprise me with some of the most interesting websites and posts that I wouldn’t normally find on my own.

Today, a dear acquaintance of mine posted something that blew my mind! Pictures of Astronauts. It’s like this Tumblr was made for me.

SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE!

Menswear Dog

I know…right?

Is this not the best thing to improve your Thursday and make it 10x better?!

Menswear Dog is who I want to be my next best friend. He’s a three-year-old Shiba Inu living in NYC and he’s got more style and swag than any other pet I’ve ever seen.

His Tumblr page is still pretty fresh, but his popularity is growing by the second. Boo, there’s a new dog in town now.

A Collection Part 32

This post is being released today because Veronica reminded me that I was overdue. Something you need to know: she asks for these posts often, but I usually don’t give in because I need to have a specific amount of photos for me to warrant a post. This time, she was right on the money hence…

Who Was The Online Voice Behind The Obama Campaign?

I’ve said it countless times throughout the campaign period, but President Obama’s social media team was on point this year. Every tweet and Tumblr post was not only appropriate and meaningful, but also relevant. If Mitt Romney would have turned one of his statements into a cat meme, it would have been a little out of place. (Just kidding, he took the Friday Night Lights tagline instead and got himself some h8trssss.)

An interview with Laura Olin – the woman who was behind the President’s Twitter handle was published today and it is the most interesting thing I’ve read all day. It’s kind of incredible because Laura Olin is a social media strategist and every move she makes is carefully planned out to a tee with her team… and to think that this job did not even exist just a few years ago is shocking.

Check out the interview here.

White People Mourning Romney

I can’t believe a site like this exists. It is both amusing and alarming at the same time. I can’t help but also wonder what the responses would have been like if Mitt Romney had won and President Obama had lost.

Regardless, HAYYY still a pretty funny Tumblr.

Guys in Suits

Can I speak candidly here for a moment? Is that okay? Well, it is my blog after all so I guess I can do whatever I please, but I’m about to make a bold statement: There is nothing sexier than a guy in a suit. Those girls who prefer cowboys in cutoffs/sleeveless plaid shirts that shouldn’t be sleeveless, or those girls who prefer bros in bro tanks and neon shorts or swim trunks worn out of the water gtfo. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Please, for a second, let’s just appreciate a man in a suit. That tie clip, the skinny tie, the crisp fitted look of a suit that fits a man in all the right places. Now, how are you going to tell me that you are going to turn that down? Unless the personality underneath that is kind of douchey then maybe, but that might not be the case here. The other day I was having a conversation with someone who asked me if I was the type to work in a professional setting that preferred the pant/skirt suit or the business professional attire. And to be honest, I never thought I was going to be that kind of a girl, but after being in that environment for the past several months, I will say that I felt GOOD about the way I looked when I went to work. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I generally believe that you should always feel good about yourself on a daily basis – if not every minute of the day! I liked wearing my heels and walking up and down the streets of Seattle alongside other working professionals everyday. I endured the Seattle summer heat by wearing blazers paired with the rest of my outfits and I enjoyed making up new combinations with my colored cardigans and fitted skirts. You know what I realized though? That feeling is mutual. It’s not just me. It’s other working professionals and men alike – hence this blog. Guys in Suits.

Yes, it is easy to resort to sweats (I don’t. I prefer leggings, thanks)  or a t-shirt and jeans, but when someone has the opportunity to dress up, they will take it. Guys love dressing up. Anyone who says they don’t is a) lying, b) feeling insecure about admitting it or c) has not had the opportunity.

If you’re a guy who is a c) – you just gotta make it happen. Going to a bar and meeting up casually with friends? Suit up. Going nowhere important and think wearing a suit for daily activities is overdressing? Who cares, do it anyways.

McKayla Maroney Is Not Impressed

My bus ride is a time for some extensive reflecting. I wouldn’t be able to tell you everything that crosses my mind on a daily basis, but today it was “Why do people belt their belts below their butt?” “How fast am I going to get to my stop today?” “Hmmm remember that time when I thought those statues were  actually really still human beings?” For some reason, this image of McKayla Maroney also popped into my head. I swear it was before I found out that a meme was created for her and then a whole Tumblr dedicated to this meme. I thought about how fierce McKayla Maroney is for a 16 year old. When she received the silver instead of the gold the other night, the girl was just unhappy. As the Tumblr suggests “not impressed” clearly. And then I thought to myself how funny it would be if I, too, had adopted her scowl and used it for every moment I wasn’t impressed.

I’m really glad that I’ll never forget what it looks like now because of this meme.

Check out the growing collection here.

Microwhat

[photo cred: Swissmiss]

As children, we are often curious about everything that surrounds us. Why does this work like this? Why doesn’t this fit? This doesn’t make sense. What would happen if…? One Tumblr user decided to answer that common question we had as kids of “What happens if you put this in a microwave?”

The results are fascinating and rather than trying it out ourselves and making a mess, we can live vicariously through this Tumblr instead.

Oh what up Microwhat
