Dear Tumblrians!

Take some advice from those of us who used Yahoo products for a while: move to a good platform. Wordress.com is good.

They&#039;ll decide that the users want something different to what they chose to use and begin a slow plod towards something nobody wants. It will be buggy and unstable.

You&#039;ll have to refresh your page four times to get to the right content.</li><li>In about three years they&#039;ll eventually pull the plug. Probably at short term notice, giving nobody adequate chance to export all their content. If you&#039;re really unlucky they&#039;ll rub salt in the wound by launching a half-hearted alternative that&#039;s too rubbish to be useful to anyone.</li></ol>]]></content:encoded>
