Tumblr worked on an article with Mashable covering the history of the gif and Tumblr’s leading role in the file format’s revival. It includes a trifecta of great commentary from Tumblr’s David Hayes, Lily Padula and former Editorial Director Christopher Price. The work of Lily, a Tumblr Creatr, for Tumblr’s “Post It Forward” campaign is featured too.
We all know that Tumblr is the perfect platform for users to engage, share and be creative.

On Thursday, we’re going to introduce ads on Tumblrs, so that later this year people can start making money from their blogs.
Tumblr is a place where brilliant, creative, funny, impossible people shape culture. Some of you have even turned your passions into jobs: book deals, music careers, paid gigs with the Creatrs program. Now, (soon!) that opportunity will be available to any eligible Tumblr—poet, musician, fan artist, and misfit weirdo memelord alike.
Some things you’re probably wondering:
Do you have to? Good question. No, you can turn off on-blog advertising in settings if you’re not comfortable with it.
When? Who? How? How much? Also good questions! We’re still working out the details of the partner program but as soon as we have details to share, we’ll make announcements right here on trusty Staff. Just so you know: You won’t be able to make money until you register for the program—which is coming soon.
Okay, cool. Ta ta for now!
Ads are evolving on Tumblr as bloggers can take a share of the dough. Find out how you can make money from your Tumblr from this post!

Since we launched the new Yahoo Messenger at the end of last year, you’ve enjoyed an energized messaging experience built around groups. Our new platform provides you with a fast and easy way to send (and unsend) not only messages, but also photos and animated GIFs. Today, we’re delighted to announce that you can enjoy all of these features you’ve grown to know and love in our brand-new Yahoo Messenger desktop app for Windows and Mac.
Want to share photos from your latest vacation or simply spice up a message? Save precious time with our drag and drop feature to share multiple photos at once. Then, spread the love by “liking” any posts or images that stand out to you. If you’d rather reply with a GIF, you can easily search and send GIFs to your heart’s content. Pro tip: play GIF roulette and type /gif + any search term.
With Messenger’s desktop notifications, you can multitask at your computer without having to worry about missing an important message from family, friends, or coworkers again.
We are also introducing the unsend button – one of our most beloved Messenger features now on desktop. Sent that message too soon or caught a last-minute typo? Now you can take back a message, photo or GIF (yes, even after you’ve pressed send)! You can find out more about this exciting feature here.
The Yahoo Messenger desktop app is available for download today on Windows and Mac! Friendly reminder: If you’re using the old version of the Yahoo Messenger desktop app, don’t forget to update it by August 5 as the legacy Yahoo Messenger app will no longer function as we move forward! And if you have any questions while you’re transitioning to our new platform, simply head over to our help page.
