<p>In this week's Cybercultural post, I look back on Tumblr in 2012. In particular, I explore how the gifset — a collection of animated gifs — came to epitomize Tumblr's quirky appeal and helped redefine blogging. (note: I fired up my YouTube a/c for this post, recording 4 video screencasts to illustrate some beautiful 2012 gifsets) <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/tumblr-2012/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="cybercultural.com/p/tumblr-2012/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cybercultural.com/p/tumblr-201</span><span class="invisible">2/</span></a> <a href="/tags/internethistory/" rel="tag">#InternetHistory</a> <a href="/tags/tumblr/" rel="tag">#Tumblr</a> <a href="/tags/gifsets/" rel="tag">#gifsets</a></p>

<p>After a long silence, Tumblr confirms it is still planning to join the fediverse.</p><p>> The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news.</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> <a href="/tags/tumblr/" rel="tag">#Tumblr</a></p>
