One of the things I now find myself doing in my consulting work is providing clients with a Writing Prompt Service. It was born, like any good service, from client needs. In working with my clients, it quickly became clear that whatever their reason for having a website or blog, writers, bloggers, marketers, etc. all struggle with coming up with fresh ideas to write about.

For adult webmasters and bloggers, the real ruckus started when Tumblr prepared itself for a Yahoo buy-out by appearing to purge itself of adult content. The micro-blogging site did this quite effectively when it dealt a dirty blow to Tumblr users by using robots.txt to exclude the search engines from indexing sites labeled as “adult”. This was reported in accurate detail by Bacchus at the long-respected ErosBlog. (it must be noted that Tumblr does not seem to be using the Robots Meta Tag. Do you know about robots.txt files and Robots Meta Tags?)
This was reported by Bacchus before anyone even had an idea that Yahoo & Tumblr were in talks. Just days later, Bacchus again discussed issues for adult bloggers at Tumblr, i.e. how difficult it became to even search your own Tumblr blog & how to back-up your Tumblr site. By this time, the rumors had become official news: Yahoo had purchased Tumblr. Via Gracie Passette

I noticed the difference on Tumblr early on. Links on other sites were leading to missing sites, or sites that just would not load. Where will the adult bloggers go next? Tumblr was a nice, simple place for them the past few years. I don't think they can move to WordPress.com as was suggested for other Tumblr bloggers who don't want to wait for Yahoo to drop.

Tumblr announced on Thursday that it now hosts 100 million blogs.
Deanna Dahlsad's insight:
I have very mixed reactions to this. The most negative reaction being how Tumblr in general is about the regurgitation of content (primarily images) without context or even proper credit. The fact that this is so popular is also a sad commentary on media consumers.

100 million blogs is very big numbers, which means our life has been changed by internet.

WordPress is going to curate more content and may focus on longform writing and even native advertising, CEO Matt Mullenweg said in a panel at SXSW Saturday. Via Guillaume Decugis

Interesting to see that move from Wordpress. It is one of the best CMS out there. And it's free. But can it move from siloed blogs to become a media or a community?

The ability to create an index of a video relating to a particular topic area will be one important way of straddling silos as Wordpress moves in this (horizontal() direction.

@Janet: it's actually more about WordPress curating blogs then doing specific things to help curators.

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:
I think most of the items on this list are known (if somewhat debatable), but reading the reasoning may help some to identify which sort of content best fits their audience &/or business model.

L'ogre Google avale tout. Mais privilégie certains contenus : interviews, débats, listes, contenus régulièrement mis à jour, etc. A vous d'en tenir compte si vous voulez apparaître dans les résultats ! |
