Interesting announcement on the acquisition of New York based Tumblr<\/a>\u00a0by Silicon Valley based Yahoo<\/a> for $1.1Billion via the BBC<\/a> – is this good? “Internet giant \/ trailblazer (well it used to be) adding Tumblr<\/a>\u00a0to its current stable of its mail service and Flickr<\/a>” equals a more “hip mini Google<\/a>\u00a0facility to the teen market”?<\/p>\n

If you look at the current market environment, the younger market (of teenagers and twenty something’s) are leaving Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and avoiding\u00a0Google Plus<\/a>\u00a0because it doesn’t suit their requirement – quick announcement facility, where have we heard this before? Oh, short burst messaging….<\/em><\/p>\n

So, is this younger (well the real next generation of influencers’) voice happy with this? It would seem that they are not happy but all they are doing is voicing their concerns (remember that Google Plus<\/a>\u00a0slipped in these without many people voicing their objections) and will this make a difference? Mashable<\/a> shows how opinion is divided on this matter, yet will it make a difference?<\/p>\n

So we have Facebook<\/a>\u00a0with Instagram<\/a>\u00a0with no mail or blogging, Yahoo<\/a> with their mail and Flickr<\/a>” now has blogging via Tumblr<\/a>\u00a0all to rival the giant that is becoming Google+<\/a> which all ready contains mail, video and has Blogger but no real photo App!<\/em><\/p>\n

Where does this leave WordPress<\/a> and AOL<\/a> vulnerable to Facebook<\/a>? What does this mean for Pinterest<\/a>\u00a0too? If this did happen, that would leave a three-way street between Facebook<\/a>, Google Plus<\/a>\u00a0and Yahoo<\/a> – so are you covered on them all or have you chosen your desired platform only using this one method?<\/p>\n

This year is going to be exciting with much more happening in 2014 – so are you ready?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
