I think they’re a fascinating phenomenon. It’s something that’s not even five years old and yet it’s already become something that millions of people do every day. It’s something that we do without thinking, but can’t always explain. Long story short, I’m interested. So interested, in fact, that I decided that my undergrad research project at <a href="http://uq.edu.au">UQ</a> should be about why we click Like buttons and how knowing that might be able to improve social recommendation systems. I need to gather some information from real live people, and <strong>I could really use your help — all you’d have to do is keep using Tumblr</strong>. Interested? Read on.</p> <p>As part of my research, I’m investigating <em>why</em> people are Liking things online. To keep things simple, I’m focusing on users of one particular social network — in this case, Tumblr. I’m running a kind of diary study over the course of a week to find out why people are Liking things on Tumblr.</p> <p><strong>Here’s how it works</strong>. You download and install a browser extension (for Safari or Chrome). Then, for the next week, every time you Like a Tumblr post, a form pops up and asks you why you just Liked that post. You answer the question and submit the form, and then the form goes away. Too easy, right? Everything’s kept anonymous, and you can opt out at any time by just uninstalling the browser extension.</p> <p>If you’d like to participate in the diary study (and boy would it be swell if you would), <a href="http://thesis.scottjackson.org/">head over here, download the browser extension</a> and get Liking!</p> <p>Thanks for your time.</p> </blockquote>http://tumblr.tristanwinch.com/post/11916310678http://tumblr.tristanwinch.com/post/11916310678Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:42:00 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsczoq7mOg1qzcrmmo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><h1><em>That’s no moon.</em></h1> <p>Maybe Lord Vader would do something about the hideous pincushion/xmas tree/sports arena that can retract or close its roof with just <em>half-a-day’s notice in a city known for its significant and erratic rainfall</em>.</p>http://tumblr.tristanwinch.com/post/10864926425http://tumblr.tristanwinch.com/post/10864926425Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:26:00 -0700star warsfirefox nightlyscreencapbc place is as ugly as fuck<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr9vr0gJPP1qzcrmmo1_r1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>So many more askew glances on <a href="https://twitter.com/jasonpermenter/status/112247114234474496">JasPer’s tweet</a> than on <a href="https://twitter.com/rands/status/112243941411262464">@rands’</a>.</p> <p><em>Hrmph.</em></p>http://tumblr.tristanwinch.com/post/10005002870http://tumblr.tristanwinch.com/post/10005002870Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:33:00 -0700michael loppjason permenter@rands@jasonpermenterintroverts<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqgofzfMuL1qzcrmmo1_400.png"/><br/><br/><p>It seems a bit rough for <a href="http://www.earwolf.com/show/how-did-this-get-made/"><em>HDTGM</em></a> to just lean into <a href="http://jordanmorris.tumblr.com">Jordan</a> like that.</p>http://tumblr.tristanwinch.com/post/9375685822http://tumblr.tristanwinch.com/post/9375685822Thu, 25 Aug 2011 08:00:06 -0700jordan morrishow did this get madeskyline“On the one hand, vegetarianism is healthy and humane.
