Reblog This Film Festival was last night in Hollywood, and it got me thinking… Sure, I could be bummed that it’s sunny and beautiful in Los Angeles while I’m stuck in a rainy New York. But then I realized I don’t need to go to Hollywood, I can bring Hollywood to me.
Let us now imagine what each of these Tumblr blogs would be like if they were turned into movies!
Watch It Grow
In a world filled with weak facial hair, one man fights against dirty looks and accusations of being a molester for the glory of possessing the most epic mustache of all time. Life as we know it hangs in the balance. With explosions!Zombify
Terror. Dread. Cute zombies! A small, depressed town in rural America is overrun by the cutest and most adorable zombies that audiences have ever seen! The ignorant townspeople initially fight their invaders, but eventually learn to work with them to make a better world. With explosions!From Me To You
A mild-mannered NYC photographer and collector finds more than he bargained for in a creepy old antique store. He’s forced to fight for his life as a shadowy government agency hunts for the secret he unearthed. With explosions!Legos!
A young girl finds that the scenes she makes with her Lego building blocks turn into real life. She decides to use this power to help find her widowed dad a new wife, and learns along the way that you can’t force love and that pirates are awesome. With explosions!Tom Oatmeal
Tom writes steamy romance novels, but has never felt love himself. After a horse bites off Tom’s hand, he hires a quirky female assistant to help him meet his upcoming deadline. Through a series of hijinks, both learn that you just might find the love of your life when you least expect it. Sadly, these two hate each other with a passion and will both die alone. With toast!What? I like toast. Who do you nominate for next Tumblr Tuesday?
Tumblr Tuesday
We’re rolling out a big new development today:
Introducing Tag Channels.
Similar to Flickr’s tag pages or Twitter’s hashtags, Tumblr’s Tag Channels aggregate tagged posts from everyone on Tumblr in real time with a few special twists:
- To deal with the overwhelming volume of content that makes most real-time search incredibly unwieldy, we’ve developed a clustering engine that lets you quickly filter the 650,000 new Tumblr posts created every day, based on likes and reblogs. You can see a few of the best posts or more unfiltered posts.
- Our post-filtering is automatically calibrating to apply more or less filtering (by default) based on the level of activity in a channel.
- Built-in throttling (still being tweaked) prevents monopolization by individual blogs.
- Tags are normalized, so “Barack Obama” = “barackobama”.
- We’ve made it super-easy to track tags on your Dashboard.
We’re still right in the middle of development. A few things might be acting funny, and we’re not done with the central tag directory yet. So please bear with us!
Now start tagging your posts. :)
For your inspiration: Tech, Politics, NYC, District 9, Healthcare, NFL, FAIL, Pizza, Baby Animals.
