We’re working on improving search across Tumblr, and one of our latest experiments is to try surfacing posts in search results based on image recognition.If you disabled endless scrolling in your dashboard preferences on web because it was laggy, give it another try! If you disabled it because you like paged browsing better, keep on keeping on! You’ll still benefit from these improvements. We’ve deployed some performance and stability improvements for browsing feeds through the site, including the ability to truly handle endless scrolling.

Also, if you were in the experiment and had enabled certain tabs, like Popular Reblogs and Blog Subs, please note that those settings have moved back to the Tumblr Labs settings, instead of being configurable options in the new config screen. We’re still working on adding the ability to change the default tab between Following and For You.
#TUMBLR USER SEARCH UPDATE#
The feature appears to have rolled out last week, based on some early tweets, but we’ve reached out to Tumblr to confirm and will update with details when we hear back.īelow, some early reactions from Naijca luckily, it only follows main blogs right…? right?!

But the page for doing so () now redirects to instead. To be clear, Tumblr allowed users to look up contacts via email in the past, announcing way back in 2009 the option to search via Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL or MSN. And today, responding to an outraged user via Twitter, the Tumblr account tweeted back “if you don’t want your Facebook or twitter linked, just uncheck the box in your settings.” While Tumblr doesn’t appear to have made an official announcement on this new feature yet (at least via the official Tumblr blog, that is), the company did tweet, err… re-tweet, about the addition yesterday. Because it appears that the option to remove yourself from social discovery is opt-out. As Buzzfeed’s community moderator Ryan Broderick hilariously tweeted, “Great, thanks to the new page all my friends will find my One Direction fanblog I moderate!” Handy. Well, handy if you’re the one doing the looking, I suppose. On the page available at /lookup you can now connect your Gmail, Twitter and/or Facebook accounts to find all your friends’ Tumblr blogs. Popular blogging platform Tumblr has quietly introduced a minor, but notable new feature: a better way to find contacts through your other social networking services or Gmail.
