It takes two to tango, and Tumblr doesn’t dance (Part II)

As already said before (and before and before) - I’m sick and tired of companies changing the rules and APIs and forcing those who helped making their service big and successful to either comply or to die.

Well, I chose to die.

As of today myTumblr does not work anymore and I was not granted access to their new API because they changed the rules afterwards.

I’m sorry that the App no longer works for you as it did for years before without any trouble. There can’t and won’t be an update. Sorry.

I know it sucks and because I myself hate being forced to use the crappy web interface to blog (for any service) - I’m also searching for option to migrate this tumblog into my own weblog engine. This may take a while but I don’t like to be treated that way from companies.

I still like the idea of Tumblr and I understand why they act like they act and for new and unestablished Apps I don’t have a single problem with it - but for old (or the first Apps) it doesn’t have to be this way. Or better: it shouldn’t.

It was fun and now it’s over…

Still thinking that Flash isn’t doomed?

Well - have a look here
