昨年も参加していたアイスホッケーイベント YouTube Allstarsに今年も参加しました！（昨年の様子はこちら） 前回はサプライズ参加だったと思いますが、今年は事前にアナウンスがありました。会場となったタンペレのノキアアリーナは大入りの盛り上がり！ 昨年はカーリヤの参加したチームが負けましたが、今年は勝てたみたいでよかったね！ハーリヤもトミキャコスプレで参戦😂笑いを誘ってました。 カーリヤの様子をまとめた動画がYouTubeにあがっていましたのでご紹介します。生き生きしてて楽しそう😊

2. 郵便サービスPostiのキャンペーンに起用！

我々でいうところの日本郵便みたいなフィンランドの郵便サービスPosti。もともとスウェーデンにも事業所はあったが別名義だったところ、このたびPostiブランドに統一する���ということで、フィンランドを代表するアーティスト・カーリヤと、スウェーデン系フィンランド人アーティストのMiriam Bryantがキャンペーンでコラボ。 1960年代～1970年代にに活躍したデュオ・ソニー＆シェールの名曲「I Got You Babe」をカバーした、というものです。 びっくりしたのはカーリヤ、意外と歌えるじゃん！ということ！笑 最初声似てるけど違う人か？とか失礼なこと考えちゃいましたが、イェレングリッシュを聴いて本物だ！となりました。笑 カーリヤ、良い声だしもっと歌の練習したらさらに引き出しが多くなりそうだなあ～と前から思っているので、ぜひアーティストとしての可能性を広げてほしいです！ このキャンペーンに関する記事はこちら。 Käärijäのコメント「今こそフィンランドとスウェーデンを一つにする時だと思う。この曲がフィンランド人とスウェーデン人を少しでも近づけることを願っています。実は前からミリアムとコラボしたいと思っていたんですが、ついにそれが実現しました」

歴史を知れば知るほど、なかなかこのあたりによその国の者がコメントするのは難しいですが、少しでも両国の想いが寄り添う形の未来が続くといいなと思います。 そのためには、カーリヤのようにどこの国のだれだろうがわけへだてなく接して友達になっちゃうような人が大きな役割を果たすと思うんだけど、なかなか難しいことだね。

2月～3月前半まとめ② ESC国内予選勝利の神様

SFBリリース、宣伝活動のほか、この１か月カーリヤが姿を現していた場所…それはユーロビジョンの国内予選！ プレッシャーや誹謗中傷など様々な苦しいこと悲しいことがあったけれど、確実にカーリヤを世界的に有名なアーティストにしてくれ、そして多くの友情を築くことができたユーロビジョン。なかなかその縁は切れませんね（個人的には負の側面のほうが大きく見えてはやく縁切ってほしいけど…笑）。

そんなユーロビジョン、今年の各国予選で、カーリヤが応援したアーティストが次々優勝しております😂

1.フィンランド国内予選UMK優勝：Erika Vikman

A post shared by ERIKA VIKMAN (@erikavikman)

Ruoskaでコラボし、カーリヤと大の仲良しのエリカ様。2020年以来の復活参加となったUMKで、見事優勝しました！ 圧巻のパフォーマンスで見事視聴者の心を掴んだIch Komme、カーリヤはすでに以前からこの曲を聴いていたというのは以前の記事にも書きました。私自身もエリカ様応援だったしこれは勝てる曲だと思っていたので、ユーロビジョンに出ること自体には複雑な想いもありますが、よかった！

2.エストニア国内予選Eesti Laul優勝：Tommy Cash

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Käärijä (@paidatonriehuja)

こちらもカーリヤとIt's Crazy It's Partyでコラボしたカオスの申し子（勝手に呼んでる）トミー・キャッシュ。彼ほどの知名度がありすでに活躍しているアーティストがユーロビジョンに？と最初は半信半疑でしたが、カーリヤやヨーストの「リベンジ」をする、と宣言して出場し、当然のように(笑)優勝。 Espresso Macchiato自体は彼にしては非常に、言葉は悪いですが普通の曲だし（でも作曲はCCCと同じくKiroなので、耳に残る曲ではある）、パフォーマンスを度肝を抜くようなものではなかったですが、まだこれは国内予選。きっとこれから色々度肝を抜く仕掛けがあるに違いない…だってトミキャだもん。笑 カーリヤは会場に駆けつけ、Vote For TommyのTシャツを着て全力応援。控え席でも隣に陣取り、優勝が決まった瞬間は本人の500倍くらい喜んではしゃいでおりました😂

3.スウェーデン国内予選Melodifestivalen優勝：KAJ

そしてつい先日決勝戦が終了したスウェーデンでは、スウェーデン系フィンランド人３人のコメディバンド（というのか？）、KAJがサウナソングで見事優勝！スウェーデン系フィンランド人が優勝というのは、両国にとってなかなか味わい深い結果だったのではないでしょうか…（その辺の機微は部外者には本当のところまではわからないのであまり触れませんが）。 耳に残り、ノリノリで、誰もがハッピー気分になれる曲はCCCにも通じるところがありますね！カーリヤも（そしてエリカ様も）フィンランドのアーティストということで応援していました。サウナ～！

しかしこうしてカーリヤが仲良くして応援しているアーティストが次々優勝すると、自分のとこにも来てくれ、っていう外国のアーティストが出てくるかも…？😂

Best Stuff First

If you’ve been noticing that your feed doesn’t seem to be changing, don’t freak out: it’s a feature on the “Dashboard” settings called “Best Stuff First” that is on by default. 

Just toggle it to go back to the normal tumblr experience.

Brendan Fraser is having one heck of a year. The actor known for major movie hits from the 1990s like The Mummy just won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in Darren Aronofsky's The Whale. He will also be seen in Martin Scorsese's next film, Killers of the Flower Moon. Due to all of the press Fraser was getting during awards season, the actor and his fans have been reminiscing about some of his most iconic roles. Unsurprisingly, some folks want to see him return to some of his roles from the past, including his former co-star Alicia Silverstone. Recently, the Clueless alum attended '90s Con (via Variety) and revealed she would be open to making a Blast From the Past sequel. The 1999 romantic comedy follows a man who rejoins society after spending his life in a fallout shelter. "With Brendan? I would do anything with Brendan. It was so much fun," Silverstone said during a Clueless panel when a fan asked if she'd make a Blast From the Past follow-up. "I just saw Brendan after he won his Oscar and he's so cute. He talked in his speech about how we all go through this really hard time and you have to grow and it's part of life that you struggle and then look what happened to him! So yes, I'm happy to do that."⚡️🍿🍿🍿 #comiccon #spoilermagazine #news #losangeles #podcast #magazine #art #instagram #galaxy #film #tv #hollywood #feature #movies #fandom #graphicdesign #nyc #spoiler #comicconradio #comicbooks #actors #artist #life #aliciasilverstone (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqSbJoTrq25/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Being the last website with a chronological feed from only the people I chose to follow is what brought me back to tumblr. These are two core features that are very important to my sanity on a social media feed. I cannot stress how much I do not want algorithmic popularity posts forcing what I see and when I see it. The ability to curate my own feed and see it in the order people intended for it to be seen is exactly the main selling point of this website.

Tumblr’s Core Product Strategy

Here at Tumblr, we’ve been working hard on reorganizing how we work in a bid to gain more users. A larger user base means a more sustainable company, and means we get to stick around and do this thing with you all a bit longer. What follows is the strategy we're using to accomplish the goal of user growth. The @labs group has published a bit already, but this is bigger. We’re publishing it publicly for the first time, in an effort to work more transparently with all of you in the Tumblr community. This strategy provides guidance amid limited resources, allowing our teams to focus on specific key areas to ensure Tumblr’s future.

The Diagnosis

In order for Tumblr to grow, we need to fix the core experience that makes Tumblr a useful place for users. The underlying problem is that Tumblr is not easy to use. Historically, we have expected users to curate their feeds and lean into curating their experience. But this expectation introduces friction to the user experience and only serves a small portion of our audience. 

Tumblr’s competitive advantage lies in its unique content and vibrant communities. As the forerunner of internet culture, Tumblr encompasses a wide range of interests, such as entertainment, art, gaming, fandom, fashion, and music. People come to Tumblr to immerse themselves in this culture, making it essential for us to ensure a seamless connection between people and content. 

To guarantee Tumblr’s continued success, we’ve got to prioritize fostering that seamless connection between people and content. This involves attracting and retaining new users and creators, nurturing their growth, and encouraging frequent engagement with the platform.

Our Guiding Principles

To enhance Tumblr’s usability, we must address these core guiding principles.

Expand the ways new users can discover and sign up for Tumblr.

Provide high-quality content with every app launch.

Facilitate easier user participation in conversations.

Retain and grow our creator base.

Create patterns that encourage users to keep returning to Tumblr.

Improve the platform’s performance, stability, and quality.

Below is a deep dive into each of these principles.

Principle 1: Expand the ways new users can discover and sign up for Tumblr.

Tumblr has a “top of the funnel” issue in converting non-users into engaged logged-in users. We also have not invested in industry standard SEO practices to ensure a robust top of the funnel. The referral traffic that we do get from external sources is dispersed across different pages with inconsistent user experiences, which results in a missed opportunity to convert these users into regular Tumblr users. For example, users from search engines often land on pages within the blog network and blog view—where there isn’t much of a reason to sign up. 

We need to experiment with logged-out tumblr.com to ensure we are capturing the highest potential conversion rate for visitors into sign-ups and log-ins. We might want to explore showing the potential future user the full breadth of content that Tumblr has to offer on our logged-out pages. We want people to be able to easily understand the potential behind Tumblr without having to navigate multiple tabs and pages to figure it out. Our current logged-out explore page does very little to help users understand “what is Tumblr.” which is a missed opportunity to get people excited about joining the site.

Actions & Next Steps

Improving Tumblr’s search engine optimization (SEO) practices to be in line with industry standards.

Experiment with logged out tumblr.com to achieve the highest conversion rate for sign-ups and log-ins, explore ways for visitors to “get” Tumblr and entice them to sign up.

Principle 2: Provide high-quality content with every app launch.

We need to ensure the highest quality user experience by presenting fresh and relevant content tailored to the user’s diverse interests during each session. If the user has a bad content experience, the fault lies with the product.

The default position should always be that the user does not know how to navigate the application. Additionally, we need to ensure that when people search for content related to their interests, it is easily accessible without any confusing limitations or unexpected roadblocks in their journey.

Being a 15-year-old brand is tough because the brand carries the baggage of a person’s preconceived impressions of Tumblr. On average, a user only sees 25 posts per session, so the first 25 posts have to convey the value of Tumblr: it is a vibrant community with lots of untapped potential. We never want to leave the user believing that Tumblr is a place that is stale and not relevant. 

Actions & Next Steps

Deliver great content each time the app is opened.

Make it easier for users to understand where the vibrant communities on Tumblr are. 

Improve our algorithmic ranking capabilities across all feeds. 

Principle 3: Facilitate easier user participation in conversations.

Part of Tumblr’s charm lies in its capacity to showcase the evolution of conversations and the clever remarks found within reblog chains and replies. Engaging in these discussions should be enjoyable and effortless.

Unfortunately, the current way that conversations work on Tumblr across replies and reblogs is confusing for new users. The limitations around engaging with individual reblogs, replies only applying to the original post, and the inability to easily follow threaded conversations make it difficult for users to join the conversation.

Actions & Next Steps

Address the confusion within replies and reblogs.

Improve the conversational posting features around replies and reblogs. 

Allow engagements on individual replies and reblogs.

Make it easier for users to follow the various conversation paths within a reblog thread. 

Remove clutter in the conversation by collapsing reblog threads. 

Explore the feasibility of removing duplicate reblogs within a user’s Following feed. 

Principle 4: Retain and grow our creator base.

Creators are essential to the Tumblr community. However, we haven’t always had a consistent and coordinated effort around retaining, nurturing, and growing our creator base.  

Being a new creator on Tumblr can be intimidating, with a high likelihood of leaving or disappointment upon sharing creations without receiving engagement or feedback. We need to ensure that we have the expected creator tools and foster the rewarding feedback loops that keep creators around and enable them to thrive.

The lack of feedback stems from the outdated decision to only show content from followed blogs on the main dashboard feed (“Following”), perpetuating a cycle where popular blogs continue to gain more visibility at the expense of helping new creators. To address this, we need to prioritize supporting and nurturing the growth of new creators on the platform.

It is also imperative that creators, like everyone on Tumblr, feel safe and in control of their experience. Whether it be an ask from the community or engagement on a post, being successful on Tumblr should never feel like a punishing experience.

Actions & Next Steps

Get creators’ new content in front of people who are interested in it. 

Improve the feedback loop for creators, incentivizing them to continue posting.

Build mechanisms to protect creators from being spammed by notifications when they go viral.

Expand ways to co-create content, such as by adding the capability to embed Tumblr links in posts.

Principle 5: Create patterns that encourage users to keep returning to Tumblr.

Push notifications and emails are essential tools to increase user engagement, improve user retention, and facilitate content discovery. Our strategy of reaching out to you, the user, should be well-coordinated across product, commercial, and marketing teams.

Our messaging strategy needs to be personalized and adapt to a user’s shifting interests. Our messages should keep users in the know on the latest activity in their community, as well as keeping Tumblr top of mind as the place to go for witty takes and remixes of the latest shows and real-life events.  

Most importantly, our messages should be thoughtful and should never come across as spammy.  

Actions & Next Steps

Conduct an audit of our messaging strategy.

Address the issue of notifications getting too noisy; throttle, collapse or mute notifications where necessary.  

Identify opportunities for personalization within our email messages. 

Test what the right daily push notification limit is. 

Send emails when a user has push notifications switched off.

Principle 6: Performance, stability and quality.

The stability and performance of our mobile apps have declined. There is a large backlog of production issues, with more bugs created than resolved over the last 300 days. If this continues, roughly one new unresolved production issue will be created every two days. Apps and backend systems that work well and don't crash are the foundation of a great Tumblr experience. Improving performance, stability, and quality will help us achieve sustainable operations for Tumblr.

Improve performance and stability: deliver crash-free, responsive, and fast-loading apps on Android, iOS, and web.

Improve quality: deliver the highest quality Tumblr experience to our users. 

Move faster: provide APIs and services to unblock core product initiatives and launch new features coming out of Labs.

Conclusion

Our mission has always been to empower the world’s creators. We are wholly committed to ensuring Tumblr evolves in a way that supports our current users while improving areas that attract new creators, artists, and users. You deserve a digital home that works for you. You deserve the best tools and features to connect with your communities on a platform that prioritizes the easy discoverability of high-quality content. This is an invigorating time for Tumblr, and we couldn’t be more excited about our current strategy.
