Recently WordPress Tavern had a post about Automattic acquiring Tumblr called: Automattic Acquires Tumblr Plans To Rebuild The Backend Powered By WordPress.
I was not expecting that at all, I am not sure if this was a good idea or not to acquire a dying brand, but I am curious to see what happens.
Automattic owns WordPress and WordPress.com et cetera, Tumblr was one of its competitors, and so this should be interesting regardless of whether it fails or not.

The other day True George suggested that I create a Facebook (Fakebook) page and / or Twitter (Switter (which comes from the word Swit from the video game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind)) page, I use(d) to have an account on both of those social networks years ago and those social networks did not meet my needs or expectations so I deleted my accounts on those two services, but I had been considering creating accounts on those two social networks again one day so that I could connect them to my WordPress.com account using the Publicize option so that an excerpt of my WordPress.com posts can automatically be sent to those services when I make a post.
