Now testing: Direct video uploads
Over the next few hours, we’ll be rolling out crazy simple native video uploading to all accounts. This is designed to be an easy alternative to full-blown video sites when all you want to do is post a quick video to your blog.
Just a few notes:
- You can upload up to 5 minutes of video every day. You can break this up across as many videos as you damn well please.
- Tumblr will immediately post most H.264-MP4-AAC videos without transcoding! That means no waiting and no quality loss. Photo Booth videos and iMovie’s “Export to iPod/iPhone” work great.
- If you’re looking to post longer videos, customize your player, or host HD videos, you’ll be much better off with a feature-rich video tool such as Vimeo.
Enjoy!
Hey, what’s that? Some really neat new features will be showing up in this menu shortly!
Just a reminder: You can share or hide your likes on the Settings page.
The “Ask” button is now included in the action menu!

Hey, Tumblr. David is out of the office this week, so we’re all acting a little bit crazy! One of us removed all the credit from a reblog, and somebody else went and posted the same funny picture twenty times in a row.
Yeah, we’re hardcore.

It’s rather amazing what just a few thick lines can communicate. Could they possibly tell us that we can find inspiration and beauty in everyday life? Certainly! (They also confirm that giraffes and balloons are highly underrated.)Put This On
I’m so glad that Jesse Thorn and Adam Lisagor produce a web series for men about dressing like a grownup. I mean… I have this friend… He wears nothing but stupid t-shirts. He could really use something like this. So, uh, I’ll pass it along.The Daily What
