From Tumblr’s newest terms of service policy, rolled out today:

Limitations on Automated Use: You may not do any of the following while accessing or using the Services:

…

(c) access or search or attempt to access or search the Services by any means (automated or otherwise) other than through our currently available, published interfaces that are provided by Tumblr (and only pursuant to those terms and conditions), unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Tumblr, or unless permitted by Tumblr’s robots.txt file or other robot exclusion mechanisms

Some Tumblr users point out this new portion of the terms of service policy may create problems for people who publish using the Missing E plug-in, which Tumblr has gone to great lengths to stress it does not support.

That’s just bullshit. Missing-e makes Tumblr better. =/

You are sooo many things Tumblr, but I’m sure sorry is not one of them.

Yikes, that new reply button is UGLAY.  Tumblr, you need to hire better user interface designers.  Actually, just fucking hire the Missing e guy already.

This.

If there was a missing-e update that auto checked the “I understand” box every time it pops up, I’d install it. Just so we’re clear on how irrelevant your opinion is, Karp.

Because Missing-e is connected to your browser - not your account. I only have M-e installed on Chrome. So as a test I logged on using IE, Safari and Firefox. And I still had the message telling me to ‘uninstall’ M-e. Yet my second account, which I’ve only ever used on FF, and is not connected to my email address, does not have the message at all.

According to Tumblrs privacy policy, they should not be able to access ‘users information regarding (…) extensions or third party software’. Clearly though, they have. So I think the REAL privacy problem is the fact that somehow tumblr staff are obtaining this information, which they should not be able to access, and are targeting users.

Never mind the fact that I didn’t even have Missing-E INSTALLED on three browsers, and yet the message still popped up on all of them - even after closing it again - is proof of this. 

Sort your shit out tumblr

Thanks to Maurice Cherry for bringing this to our attention.

Wow. This is not okay.

This is something we’ve been wanting for months, but the feature isn’t available on Tumblr. So, instead, we take lots of screenshots each day. But just think, how cool would it be if we could simply just paste a link to a tweet and it would show the embed? Pretty frickin’ cool, right? We could Storify all up in this joint without even having to use Storify. However, Tumblr doesn’t support this feature yet, and WordPress and Posterous are Twitter’s launch partners on this latest update. (We’ve tried it twice today, and it’s been pretty cool both times — but not on the dashboard.) As a news blog, this would make life so much easier, and prevent us from having to to use the screenshot feature for reasons we shouldn’t have to. Plus, you could copy and paste the text, and even retweet right from the dashboard! Who’s with us?

Seconded! I’m very excited for the possibility of this feature.

not anymore. Tumblr has decided to add a DASH wherever a space is. not an underscore like it used to be making it so there are no posts in that tag. you have to go delete the dash. 

I just tried this. This is such bullshit, just…. WHY

UGHHHH. It still works if you manually type in the tags with underscores (_) or pluses (+), but if you just click the tag from the front end of a blog it does the hyphens thing and that is really fucking annoying, Tumblr. Why do you keep doing shit like this?

“Tumblr is about expressing creativity, and that’s intimidating to brands. The first filter that I would apply to the person considering doing anything on Tumblr is ‘are you interesting?’ You have to be legitimately interesting.” — Ian Schafer, CEO of digital agency Deep Focus
