Tumblr Awakes From Its Slumbr

This is excellent news. I was worried that tumblr may have quietly died in the night and that it was just a matter of time before the neighbours complained about the smell…

Vive la tumblr, I say. It’s a great concept.

Yeah, well I’ll believe that when I see it lol. Tumblr’s slumbr has been lasting for months and they are totally unresponsive. If they do awake, it would be nice to see the following issues fixed:

(1) defective feeds that suddenly die or grow idle for no reason when the same RSS is working fine elswehere (and, of course, no explanation offered);

(2) no built-in search;

(3) no import/export/backup, with the API not working either, meaning if the slumr turns into death, you’re left stuck in there….
