Fresh on the heels of users posting laundry lists of complaints, David Karp, the 20-something playing CEO of tumblr, went out and got himself a present: Just got this! It’s registered to Rachel since the insurance was cheaper. :) Is this just how Karp deals with getting handed money or getting criticism? I'm all for him enjoying all that free money, but it just feels like he's been on a 4 month spending spree. But what do I know, maybe he is using that 10 million in venture capital to improve the tumblr user experience, hire qualified professional staff, and get...

Shani Grimmond, apparently a beauty vlogger, has angered the planet with a recent snapchat. On her snapchat, she posted a picture of a gigantic nazi flag hanging in her brother’s apartment and her and her friends dancing around it and laughing. A few moments later, she posted a follow-up snapchat saying ‘not my flag’, indicating that she knew the meaning of it and wanted to distance herself away from it. Alleged screenshot of Snapchat There was soon a response posted to her instagram - featuring a pic of Shani sunning her legs by the pool - along with an explanation....

That Wife's Jenna Cole is best known as the woman who lets her husband lock up the cheese to help her lose weight. A long cherished dream for hatefans of That Wife came true last week, when they were promised a peek inside the notorious Cheese Locker. We combed the pics looking for a padlock, a  firebox, a package of Kraft singles fortified with 200 flex cuffs. Alas, though several pics were shared on the "Inside the Fridge" article, no evidence could be found of the cheese safe. So where is this mysterious place where Jenna's cheese is locked? The internets demands to...

Rachel is about to make the entire vaginal population of the tumblr nation go into emo spasm. Her Boyfriend David Karp just posted this to his bloggy thingy: “We don’t have to get legally married, but I want a ring and a party.” — Rachel David Karp, inventor of  tumblarity (the most obnoxious game since Farmville), posted this a few hours ago after several vom inducing cutesy posts between the two of them. Mainly vom inducing because I'll never have cutesy tumblr posts about me. Coming on the heels of a lovely European vacation, I think we all know what...

Natalie Mason, of the taped in blonde hair, turned to the fallback content generator of the gram thirsties - a Q & A. One follower who clearly hates eating asked if ole Natty had ever considered styling food. She responded with a list of her dream jobs. (more…)

Taza, quickly becoming Dooce with her newer, non-revealing content, husband who appears to have ended his own career to ride his wife's coattails, and sponsored posts, is taking yet another step towards Doocedom - she and her stay at home husband are hiring an assistant. The prudent thing to do when you are internet semi-famous and have two small children would be to contact a reputable agency (or have your management agency do it for you) and hire a professional who will have a grip of NDA experience and a background check. But hey, why do that when you can...

BlondeBrunetteTravel, sisters who blog about their travels, are just dying to attend TBEX Dublin in October. As people who have a blog where they talk about travel, they apparently think airlines should give them discounted rates because don't companies know they have a blog? To that end, they are attempting to publicly arm twist Aer Lingus into giving TBEX attendees the discount they deserve: Hey TBEX friends. Let's petition Are Lingus to offer good fares to us for the Dublin conference! We were going to try to start a Twitter campaign but, amazingly, they don't use Twitter (have an unused...

In the world of blogging there are many ways to fame. One is having content people want to read and providing that content on a consistent basis, slowly building a readership and community. Another is by pursuing other endeavors (freelance writing is a common option) to get your name out there and get people to your site. Most bloggers nowdays take a third option: sucking up to already popular bloggers. Blog climbing can be done in various ways - some as simple as commenting on popular blogs and making sure to add your blog link in the comment, or tweetstalking...
