Tumblr Staff: Dashboard API: Part 1
Get it while it’s hot!
Dashboard posts are now accessible from the Tumblr API, and there’s a shit-ton more coming to the API over the next few
weeksdays.While I’m sure you guys will concoct plenty of things we haven’t even begun to imagine, the things we’re super-excited to see are any …
You heard it here first! Also, can anyone get this to work?
Wow. I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s really happening!
YESSSSS. Open = Good. This makes me very, very happy.
Ah, one thing I forgot — OAuth. I’d really like to see Tumblr move to a 3-legged OAuth system for API authentication and totally disallow plaintext email/password auth. Until then, I can imagine that quite a few devs might be dissuaded from developing against it.

Forrst - a place for designers and developers to share things with their peers
Ok, so, Billy convinced me to open Forrst up for a little bit — that means no invite code required, just sign up and start posting. If you’re a designer or developer, I’d love for you to try Forrst out; it’s still very young, but you’ll have a chance to not only be an early user of the service (and get the username you want!), but also be influential in its direction. I’d love for you to try it out: Sign up is right this way.
Tumblr Stole My Domain At The Behest of A Corporation
I’ve run pitchfork.tumblr.com for almost a year now. I had several posts up and I followed 28 people with the account. All my posts are now gone and my address has been changed to pitchfork1.tumblr.com. Where my blog once stood now stands the official Tumblr for Pitchfork Media Inc. Watch out, Soup, I hear Campbell’s is gunning for you next.
Recently, one of my friends who is subscribed to my pitchfork tumblr was surprised to see a sudden change in the content I was posting. That’s because Tumblr stole my subdomain and gave (sold?) it to Pitchfork Media Inc. Keep in mind that the word “pitchfork” is not a proprietary name, it is a noun dating back to the year 1364, so they had no legal right to the word or the subdomain. It clearly wasn’t a case of impersonation as none of my posts had anything to do with music. If there was some kind of content quality threshold that failed to be met which led to my blog’s demise, then 98% of Tumblr should now be blank. Is it possible there’s a certain amount of time that can pass between posts before Tumblr deletes your blog? If so, they should probably make that information public just in case someone accidentally makes the mistake of going on vacation.
The worst part of all this is that if you subscribe to the RSS feed for the “new” Pitchfork Tumblr (http://pitchfork.tumblr.com/rss), you’ll see the first five posts I made are still there! There’s even a post with a screenshot from my March Madness pool standings with my name and face on it. Sadly, I apparently no longer control this image or this information, nor can I exercise my right to remove it from the Internet. But hey, it’s not like these amateurs haven’t pulled this crap before, they’ll probably just write some new content policy after the fact in order to justify it like last time.
So make sure you back up all your content!
If you think your content shouldn’t be deleted and moved arbitrarily at the whims of corporate latecomers, then you should consider contacting the Tumblr team to ask them to stop disrespecting their loyal users:
Email support@tumblr.com and or call them out on Twitter

Hope this isn’t true, but doesn’t sound at all implausible.

Wow, that’s very impressive. And kind of depressing.
Agreed, but for fair comparison businessinsider.com should have been used, not thebusinessinsider.com - gives way different metrics.
Statlr is now live!
