1. ➶ My likes on Tumblr

    Tumblr’s awesome ‘Likes’ feature makes for a fantastic way to give posts you like a thumbs-up. I make fair use of it, and whilst I’d love for there to be options like ‘post a daily digest of likes to my Tumblog’, you can keep track of these anyhow by visiting this page.

    There’s no RSS (sorry) but if you’re wanting to see what I’m reading, liking and simply not getting around to blogging this is the place to be.

  2. ➶ London Tumblr Meetup, 30th May

    If you’re in London on the 30th May, and a Tumblr user, this is probably for you. I’m likely to be in London anyhow that day, so will probably show up as an honourary Londoner. (via Dan W)

  3. ➶ The All-new Tumblr Activity Page

    It’s hot, and totally awesome.

  4. ➶ Tumblr reaches its 100,000,000th Post

    That’s a hell of a lot of posts. Congratulations to all at Tumblr on reaching the milestone!

  5. You don’t really notice how much of a tumblr nerd you are until you are eating dinner with someone for the first time and explaining why you are taking a picture of your food and posting it on the internet. I’m not sure if she realizes how obsessed I am yet.

    I’m also pretty sure this applies to Twitter and Flickr, but made me chuckle nonetheless.

  6. The Nine Apps on my iPhone

    I find myself becoming more and more fussy about the number of applications I keep on my iPhone - mostly because I don’t need 9 screens of mediocre apps. I simply keep the ones I actually use on the device, and keep a small pool of ‘notables’ within iTunes - hence my previous complaints about the App Store. So, without further ado: here’s a quick run-down of the (shipping) apps I’ve got on my iPhone.

    • Darkslide (free with ads, £2.39 ad-free) - The best Flickr client for the iPhone - hands down. Uploading, browsing of your photos, friends’ photos and groups in one place. It now also plays back Flickr videos.
    • Facebook (free) - The Facebook app has long been a favourite of mine. It’s particularly well designed, though it lacks any events capabilities which makes it a real pain to view events on the go.
    • Shazam - Super handy for identifying tracks you hear out and about.
    • Frenzic (£2.99) - The only game I have on my iPhone. It’s super-slickly designed, and ridiculously addictive.
    • NetNewsWire (free) - I’m a long-time fan of NetNewsWire for the desktop, and I’ve yet to find any better newsreader for the iPhone - though the inability to browse any articles you’ve added to your clippings is a bit of a pain.
    • Tweetie (£1.79) - I wasn’t a huge fan of Tweetie until recently, however it’s since overtaken Twitterrific as my client of choice. Much as I love the visual eye candy in Twitterrific, Tweetie works far better, offers a much wider feature set, and scrolls like butter (something that Twitterrific still does not). That said, I’m looking forward to seeing what the Icon Factory have in store for Twitterrific version 2.0, which they teased us about at Macworld.
    • Tumblr (free) - Tumblr’s free app for posting to the service is both well-designed and super-handy for on-the-go blogging.
    • Remote (free) - Apple’s Remote for iTunes. We use it in the office for iTunes DJ, and I use it at home when I’m too lazy to get out of bed and change tracks.
    • Ego (£1.19) - Lets you track web statistics that ‘matter to you’ - namely: Twitter, Mint, Feedburner and Google Analytics. It’s absolutely beautiful too.
