Tumblr made some changes today.
One of them is Public Groups. You can now start multiple public tumblelogs, and you can give access to other users. For example, you can now use Tumblr to host a blog for your band, giving everyone in the band the ability to post. And Tumblr can host it at yourband.com.
This is a major step in Tumblr’s evolution as a publishing platform.
bside.com: Before the Music Dies ↪
BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES tells the story of American music at this precarious moment. Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country, hoping to understand why mainstream music seems so packaged and repetitive, and whether corporations really had the power to silence musical innovation.
It’s $3 to download (or free if you don’t already have an account with b-side), and absolutely worth seeing. (via Taylor)
