Tumblr Charging $1 for Something Amazing?
What are they planning? The Tumblr community is always seeking recognition, which was evident when they launched Tumblarity, the Directories, Tumblog Tagging, etc. Everyone wants to be noticed and heard — that’s the whole point of blogging, right? I know I do.
We’re seeing glimmers of revenue generating models popping up from the Valentine’s Day program to the $9 promotion in the directories — and I’m guessing partnerships with larger organizations also provide a bit of cash flow as well. Now, after reading Fred Wilson’s blog — Tumblr seems to have a $1 thing that I would be happy to pay for. What is it though?

What would people pay $1 for on Tumblr?
- Advertisements on other tumblogs (creating an advertising network)?- Featured placements throughout the site?- Paying larger tumblogs to reblog posts (hope not)?- Avatar add-ons shown on the dashboard?- Tumblogs creating custom e-gifts to sell to their community?- Allowing users to upload 1 song per day?

Question: What do you think Tumblr will be charging $1 for?

Sweet Dispositions - The Temper Tap - Sweet Dispositions

more music from Cameron’s compilation. he built blogrollr for me and then made a killer music compilation for me too!

re-introducing “sweet dispositions” by the temper tap!
this reminds me of 500 days of summer — great song to pass time. kind of gives me a feeling like kings of leon’s “use somebody”. the whole build up and climax — good stuff.
