Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.

Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to…

““My friend Andre said to me, ‘You know, Marissa, you’re putting a lot of pressure on yourself to pick the right choice, and I’ve gotta be honest: That’s not what I see here. I see a bunch of good choices, and there’s the one that you pick and make great.””

- Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo, on the best advice she’s ever received.

“But everything that I’ve done, it wasn’t easy. … And to all those who said, ‘I can never do that. I can never do that,’ I’m going to do it to prove to them I can do anything I want to do if I put my mind to it.”

20 Ways to Look Dumb on Twitter by OPEN Forum

1. Tweet randomly, because you don’t have a strategy, and just hope your target customers will start following you.
2. Use up all 140 characters so nobody can retweet your message.
3. Use a long Twitter handle that takes up valuable space and leaves little room to actually write something.
4. Keep full URL links in your tweets, instead of
shortening your links (using a service like Bitly), which greatly
minimizes the number of retweets.
5. Talk only about yourself and your business.
6. Include a string of hashtags as opposed to one.
7. Don’t respond to tweets, especially when someone asks you a question or posts negative feedback about your business.
8. Send automated direct messages, because social media is all about computer-generated dialogue.
9. Make spelling errors, use abbreviations and acronyms,
and toss in capital letters and exclamation points so people can’t
easily follow the conversation.
10. Tweet so frequently that your followers tune you out.

resources on Twitter.

“

It seems that 79 per cent of smartphone users check for their devices within 15 minutes of waking up. A majority - 62 per cent - don’t even wait 15 minutes, and grab their phones immediately…

On average, we visit the Facebook app or the site 13.8 times during the day, for two minutes and 22 seconds each time…

That’s roughly a fifth of all the time we spend communicating; it’s only slightly less time than we spend texting. On weekends, we check Facebook more than we text.
