"The emphasis [of Tumblr] was on fun and sharing, rather than writing and editing."

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) https://cybercultural.com/p/tumblr-2012/ #InternetHistory #Tumblr #gifsets

4 years later I finally fixed the layout of my gif site and the #gifsets should now display properly on mobile.
