Tumblr today joins other top internet companies in adopting the two factor authentication standard. Users can configure it through the Settings section. Other companies such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google already use two factor authentication to make their users’ accounts more secure. While it isn’t exactly NSA proof, it should keep out nosy hackers.

These nails are sporting an unmistakable dose of Basquiat with a smattering of Warhol. It’s not a rendering—it’s real, hand-painted nail art, taken from Nail Art History, a brand new Tumblr that showcases some very impressive manicures based rather accurately on real works of modern art.

Not everyone appreciates a GIF. And not everyone appreciates an early Renaissance masterpiece. But there’s more audience overlap than you’d think. Just ask Scorpion Dagger, née James Kerr, an artist whose GIFs feature subjects from 15th century paintings creeping on Instagram and unfriending each other on Facebook.

Tumblr is a very simple blogging platform and yet it has come a long way. Yahoo acquired it for $1.1 billion last year, and while not a lot of changes have been made since then, this latest feature is bound to increase interaction between Tumblr users. The platform now lets users @ mention and link to other users in specific posts. Users that are mentioned will receive a notification in their Activity tab.
The @ mention feature works just like it does on Twitter and Facebook. Simply typing a username after the @ symbol brings up a list of relevant matches. The user that’s to be mentioned can then be selected from the list, the mention would also serve as a link to their profile and will notify them of the post that they have been mentioned in. This new feature certainly marks the start of Tumblr’s journey to become more than a blogging platform, it brings it in line with rival platforms. Tagging has always been possible on Tumblr, previously users had to use hashtags to tag other users in their posts, hashtags also serve as the gateway to content consumption on the platform. This latest update just makes the experience a bit more easier.

Tumblr gets refreshed for iOS 7, lets you reblog that cat GIF that much faster
Posted in: Today's Chili
Tumblr has just updated its iOS app with a completely redesigned interface that more closely matches the aesthetic of Apple’s latest mobile operating system. The most significant change is that the activity view is now in its own tab so it’s that much easier to keep up with who reblogged, liked or commented on your posts. Additionally, posting a new entry is much more streamlined with a fast reblog button, larger post type icons, new animations, tag auto-completion, a drop-down schedule calendar and an all-new image uploader that presents your photos and videos in a friendlier grid view instead of just popping you over to the camera roll. So if you just can’t get enough of those Ryan Gosling memes or that funny cat GIF, head on over to the source link to update the app right now.
