Revised and expanded this to try and clarify some point: Zombie Tumblr and the twilight of the social web.
The latest Black Hat SEO technique: find articles from defunct sites linked to by major news operations, and grab the URLs.

Reasons I love blogging #3478: I spend several minutes Googling “Ted Danson flossing" for a blog post this morning.
Tumblr as we know it is dead, as a pile of corporate obfuscation makes clear. What’s left is a zombie-like shell - and a gap for places where young people can experiment with their identity.
One thing I’ve learnt about myself in recent years is that things like Apple Watch straps and GoPro sleeves (like this one) make me disproportionately happy compared to their cost - as long as the material and colour are right.
Very happy with this one.
