The guys over at Tumblr finally released their very own Tumblr backup app. It’s currently in beta, but you can download it and give it a whirl (Mac OS X only – Windows / Linux user will have to check the roll-your-own solutions like the Tumblog Backup Tool or through API, for the time being).
Check out “$30 Date Night” – a site with quite a few date ideas for couples, within a budget of $30.
If you sign-up you can also submit your own date ideas, to add to the collection. I read a few of the date ideas and they seem pretty playful and creative. Take a look!
Tumblr is a fantastically simple and fun blogging platform – exploring the different Tumblogs is a great deal of fun and you can easily lose hours there.
However, since Tumblr makes is so easy for anyone to add and reblog content, most the blogs are chock full of stuff (like that’s a bad thing, right?) and pretty hard to fully explore. In particular, look at the photoblogs – there are Tumblr users out there that easily posts 30 – 50 photos on a daily basis, and your typical photoblog enthusiast can easily racks up thousands of posts. With Tumblr’s default navigation, you’ll be forever just skimming the top of the iceberg, since only the most recent posts are always comes first.
Following the footsteps of Facebook Lite, Google is offering a lite version of YouTube for users to Beta test.
This version supposedly will work great on lower power netbooks by cutting down on some features, such as related videos and play in HD.
YouTube Offers a Light-Weight Version For Slow Computers – YouTube Feather – Gizmodo.
