It's 2023! Tumblr is Still Here!

Despite the fact that Tumblr changed owners more than once and loyal users panicked each time. Despite the fact that David Karp, the creator of Tumblr, left the company at the end of 2017. It's 2018, a brand new year and Tumblr is still here and so far still true to its original mission, that is to be "a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your people." Whew! That was some sweating huh?


Tumblr remains an excellent #blogging, #microblogging and #socialmedia platform. It's very flexible and has many features to make blogging and social sharing easy. It's free to create an account. Use it for #socialnetworking #professionalnetoworking #affiliatemarketing #blogging #microblogging #articlewriting #freelancewriting #workathome #homebusiness #business and as a complement to your blogs on Blogspot or other blogging platforms.




My primary Tumblr is “Texas WIB-WAH

Find a wide range of general info: from #Art to Work at Home Tips ( #tipsandtricks #businessadvice #newbies #newbiebloggers ) to #SocietyandCulture (almost everything except porn and scary stuff like zombies. LOL.)

Hope you visit.
If you're on Tumblr hope you follow.

I Used Paper.li to Publish "My Twitter WeekEnd Wrap-Up"

Ever thought about publishing your own newspaper that quickly summarizes what you consider "headline news" that you want to read about? I tweet a lot.  But I find it tedious to continuously scroll through my tweets.  I found a really easy way to highlight/summarize my weekly Twitter activity.  I use the Paper.li publishing tool to generate a weekly newspaper. It's is a great recap of my Tweet activity or tweets of import for me for the past week! 

Check out this edition of  My Twitter WeekEnd Wrap-Up.



Time sure does fly.  My first issue was dated March 17, 2014.  That's a Monday.  Changed it to Sunday updates with a few "special editions" every now and then.  Really love this tool furnished by Paper.li.  Have you tried it?  I publish other papers too.

Scoop.it, the Perelman Premise and GOLD!

“Content is king, distribution is queen, and she wears the pants”.  ~ Jonathan Perelman, Veep of Agency Strategy at BuzzFeed.



Scoop.it works off the Perelman premise. 
~ You curate the content. 
~ They help you distribute it.

Scoop.it is a D.I.Y. content curation tool that helps you organize, publish and circulate content; including random content.  Launched in 2011 and within a year and a half, 75 million users had signed up.





Several years back, someone invited me to try Scoop.it - a content curation tool. In an effort to try to keep up with ever-changing information technology and because no fee was involved, decided it was a tool worth testing. My initial efforts resulted in the creation of three topics.

My first tests included using the interface to my blogs. If you publish a “scoop” or write a post at Scoop.it, you can share it to your blog simultaneously or at a later date. If you are on the Google Plus social network you can also share your content there also.


There is a free plan and an upgraded plan. With the upgrades, you can add more social accounts and/or blogs.


Must confess that my activity has been limited because other work-at-home projects which have been consuming my time and energy. But for the new year, decided to add Scoop.it as a priority task on my “To Do List” for 2016 and pick back up where I left off.  That turned out to be a good home business management decision. To my surprise, one of my topics has leveled up to GOLD!! It was quite a surprise when they gave me a silver ribbon. But GOLD??!! That type of recognition and support is very encouraging.




The Scoop.it content curation service has too many plusses to list, but here are a few you should consider:

+1) Links from the site are recognized by the search engines.

+2) The site owners have an informative blog loaded with tips and advice.

+2) It's a great sharing tool and also good for research.

+4) The interface to blogs or pages streamlines your work process and saves time.

Perleman's Content Strategy Tip : Gotta Respect the Queen

It's been around a few years but I haven't quite latched on to BuzzFeed craze (if it is a craze).  But it may be a powerful tool according to Jonathan Pereleman (head of BuzzFeed).  Besides, I like when people figure out a way to insert a Queen in the game plan.  😍


Although I don't know how to play chess, I do know the queen is the most powerful piece in the game of chess.  Somehow the idea of that is very appealing to me.  I can't explain why.  I'm not really a power-monger.  I believe it's because the queen is a woman that even though she's called "powerful", her power (or strength) is in her compassion and gentleness, like Queen Esther.  That's a generalization, of course.  Some women who get to reign can be real bloody heifers, like Jezebel and her daughter, Athaliah!

Regardless of whether or not you can understand my flawless logic, I'm sharing and keeping this video link for education and reference.

  • 10 Businesses You Can Run from Anywhere on Earth (And Start Today)
