"I am bitter about the Tech People because they live in the trendy neighborhoods and make them too expensive for me, even though I am grotesquely sanguine about the prospect of making my neighborhood too expensive for someone else."

- Really great piece by Lydia Kiesling in The Millions - Paucity of Art in the Age of Big Data: A Dispatch from San Francisco - http://www.themillions.com/2013/04/paucity-of-art-in-the-age-of-big-data-a-dispatch-from-san-francisco.html

This Week in Social Analytics on Tumblr | From ComScore’s 2013 U.S. Digital Future in Focus:

“Three social networks in particular – Tumblr, Pinterest and Instagram – each gained more than 10 million visitors over the course of the year in part by catering to a desire for more visually appealing content. comScore has called this phenomenon “the rise of the visual web.” Of the three, Tumblr had the largest audience at 30.8 million visitors (up 64 percent from the prior year), while Pinterest (up 284 percent to 28.9 million visitors) and Instagram (up 284 percent to 27.4 million visitors) both shared the same outsized growth rate.” 

The first graph above shows the shares for time spent on each site, with Tumblr coming in second behind Facebook, while the second shows the total unique visitor trend with Tumblr trending above both Pinterest and Instagram.

"

I’ve always believed that being a founder is an unhealthy pursuit at times, and few have disagreed — certainly not those who have done it. Read any biography of a successful founder and you’ll find collateral damage around — and certainly in — those individuals.

Startups are a full-contact sport. This is a good time for all of us to pause and think about why we’re doing this. And the impact it’s having on us and the people around us.

"[Tumblr is] not a blog, it’s a social network. ‘They’re perceived as an alternative to Wordpress or a blogging platform [but] it’s an enormous social network. People read Tumblr like they read Twitter.’ (There are 60-80 million new posts per day.)"

"To have native advertising, the ad business has to redefine “advertising” to include authentic, informative, or entertaining stories that are not paid units, that attract audience attention on their own merits (like “Star Wars” or “Skyfall”) and that compel social sharing to spread their messages like STDs."

"We love Tumblr and we especially love the diversity and creativity that goes into making it the wonderful place that it is. That means we know that not everyone works at a company with the budget for these plans. We’re working on more analytics offerings for everyone, including a version for anyone interested in measuring their personal blogs. That’s coming soon, so stay tuned!"

- Union Metrics’ Tumblr analytics system — which uses the Tumblr firehose — is now available, though most users can’t afford the $499/month starting price (most companies totally can, though). The company says they’re working on it. (via shortformblog)
