Tumblr

When iOS 7 made its debut at this week's WWDC, there was only one thing on our minds: color . . . color everywhere! Apple's latest brighter, bolder mobile operating system features a kaleidoscopic palette of colors, which was undoubtedly handpicked by the company's senior VP of design, Jony Ive.

It seems as though the man behind the box with rounded corners (aka the iPhone, the iPod, etc.) was inspired by some sort of psychedelia, which left graphic designer Sasha Agapov to wonder: what if Jony Ive redesigned things that weren't iOS 7?

Jony Ive Redesigns Things is a Tumblr collection of inanimate objects, iconic movie posters, and brands, as seen through Mr. Ive's flattened, multicolored world view. This, for example, is how Apple's soft-spoken Brit imagines stop signs, and this is his vision for iTunes.

Queen Bey's little princess has her own backstage throne! Today on Tumblr, Beyoncé shared a new photo of daughter Blue Ivy, who is along on the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. Just like mom, Blue Ivy can rock a wardrobe — check out her tutu! The family photo comes after Jay-Z reportedly denied rumors he and Beyoncé are expecting a second child and a few days after Beyoncé posted and then took down an Instagram message apparently addressing "people who have nothing better to do than talk about me." As we see with this latest photo of Blue Ivy, Beyoncé is one of many celebrities to share with fans on Tumblr, the social network Yahoo just bought for $1.1 billion. Be sure to check out more celebrities you should follow on Tumblr.

Yahoo! is buying Tumblr for $1.1 billion! On Sunday, Yahoo!'s board approved the deal for the microblogging network popular with animated GIF lovers and celebrities like Beyoncé. There are more than 108 million blogs on the social network, and the acquisition is yet another bold move by Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer, who is attempting to revitalize the Internet giant and appeal to a younger demographic. The deal, which is even bigger than Facebook's $1 billion acquisition of Instagram, is expected to be finalized as soon as Monday. Tumblr's 26-year-old founder David Karp dropped out of high school at age 15 to work as a programmer.

Breaking news: the White House is now tumbling through the time-space continuum! Today, President Obama and crew joined Tumblr, where the White House will be posting officially sanctioned charts, inspirational quotes, pictures of dogs, and GIFs — just like the rest of us.

In its first tumble, the White House said it created a site on the blogging platform as a part of the president's commitment to making "this the most open and accessible administration in history." President Obama invites his fellow Americans to share and submit stories, questions, and tumbling suggestions.

We'll be anxiously awaiting more tumbles from the White House, but until then, follow POPSUGAR Tech on Tumblr for more of the Internet's most shareable finds!

The GIF-friendly blogging platform Tumblr gave their Android app (free) a fresh new interface with smooth transitions and bouncy icons.

The new update puts a fixed "create post" button at the bottom right of the screen. If inspiration strikes while you're scrolling through your dashboard feed, tap the compose button to create a video, chat, link quote, photo, or text post.

Tumblr has put an increasing amount of attention on mobile within the past year. The blogging network launched a dedicated photo app and a long-awaited iPad app. Download the pretty new app for Android devices — and don't forget to follow POPSUGAR Tech on Tumblr!

For the past 125 years, the National Geographic Society has been a champion of scientific research and education. The nonprofit has amassed an incredible collection of photography in that time and, in honor of its milestone anniversary, it launched Found, a Tumblr dedicated to renewing (or publishing for the first time ever!) remarkable snaps from its expansive archives.

National Geographic's FOUND logo is as meaningful as it is beautiful. Charles E. Riddiford, a National Geographic cartographer in the '30s and '40s, designed the typeface of the logo, Ludwig Light.

FOUND's photos tell remarkable stories of a world before the Internet, smartphones, and 24/7 connectivity. In the image above from February 1955, children play in an oceanside pool (now, that sounds like a fine idea).

The unbelievable photo below from 1938 shows three irresistible kittens inspecting a grouper at Marineland.

William Bonner, also known as "Guardian of the Collection" among Nat Geo folk, curates the photography archive in Washington DC. William wants to continue unearthing stories from the basement of the National Geographic headquarters, and is accepting any insights about the images at natgeofound@gmail.com.

Creating posts on Tumblr is already straightforward. But the blogging platform's new dashboard design streamlines content creation even further, now letting users create posts without ever leaving their dashboards.

The new Tumblr experience is a lot like Facebook's Status Update/Add Photo window at the top of the news feed or the tweet composer built in to the Twitter Timeline. Social media platforms are trying to make the user experience as time-saving and efficient as possible, to encourage users to create more content and engage with their communities.

Tumblr's been quite the busybody lately, having released long-awaited mobile optimization for the iPad, support for Android devices, and a brand-new photo app within the last couple of months. Most recently, the platform introduced a special panorama viewing feature, with a neat interactive slider that pans the image up close.
