Tumblr Grows Through Users" Shared Interests. Tumblr theme Sites Like The Layout Shop Looking Forward to More Business.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

According to comScore’s Digital Future in Focus 2012 report, Tumblr comes in at only second to Facebook among social networking sites in terms of user engagement. This means users spend more time on Tumblr compared to other social networking sites outside of Facebook. It’s quickly becoming clear that it represents the future of blogging and social networking.

This development is especially promising for sites that offer products and services exclusively for Tumblr, like The LayoutShop.

Easy personalization, the best Tumblr themes, and the feed integration have spawned a developing trend in social networking where shared interests are the determining factor.

This momentum towards the interest graph is supported by comScore, stating that “networking around shared interests takes the main stage.” Social networking is becoming more about shared common interests rather than the individual users and their themes on Tumblr.

This, in part, may be a reaction to the many security and privacy issues that have continued to plague Facebook. Sharing on Tumblr can be done anonymously and the service requires no personal information other than an e-mail address.

This can also be attributed to Tumblr’s incredibly easy sharing, customization and layout shop features that are akin to blogging sites like Blogger and WordPress.

Tumblr’s use of a “feed” and blogging platform, creates a hub for users looking to share and re-share their interests instead of themselves online. Users “follow” other Tumbler blogs (or Tumblogs) that they like, and that blog’s most recent posts are displayed on the Tumblr feed.

This is the same system that Twitter uses, except Tumblr allows for more multimedia posts over regular text posts like on Twitter. Another of the sites most prominent features is the use of Tumblr themes that give your Tumblog a distinct look, effectively making it a personal website.

This process is made extremely easy for casual users, as knowledge in HTML or CSS coding is unnecessary in maintaining your Tumblog.

All these elements combined has given Tumblr, and similar sites like Pinterest, a distinct and unexpected edge over much larger competition like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

New trends are starting to emerge in internet social behavior. One in which the network’s connecting nodes are no longer represented by the individual users, but by those same users’ common “likes” and personalities.

The future of social networking is decidedly becoming a world of shared interests, and Tumblr is at the forefront of this new digital surge.

New Website Construction Underway At Pure Board Shop

(PRWEB) July 19, 2012

Pure Board Shop has always had a fully functioning website. It allows customers to purchase goods from the website, check out local ski conditions, and just find out what was going on in the shop in general. However, this website was far from perfect. Customers often complained about how difficult the website was to use. It was very hard to navigate and browse, and searching for a specific product was non existent. Pure understood the need for a change, so they decided to make it happen.

A few weeks back, Pure contacted a DC Metropolitan local by the name of Chitti Raju. Chitti is a budding web page designer who, despite his young age, is quite good at what he does. Pure asked Chitti to build them a brand new website; one with a search engine, easy inventory updating and above all, a consumer friendly interface. Chitti replied to Pure with a simple, “Yah, I can do that”. Not only did Chitti add a search engine, he added state of the art Search Engine Optimization (SEO) technology. Not only did he make it easy for the guys at Pure to manage the website, he used WordPress, a highly intuitive and innovative website designer. And the biggest request of all, ease of use, was exceed with Chitti’s new layout.

This new website promises to please Pure’s existing customers as well as any future customers. Pure also hopes to use this website to expand its business and to make a lot more sales through the internet.

While the website is under construction, the old website still remains active. The current example of the new website features only a blog at pureboardshop.com/blog, however this will change as the website nears its completion and the store is moved to the new webpage.

Pure Board Shop opened its doors on May of 2005. Its ease of access and parking make it a destination shop for riders and urban street ware fans alike. With their mix of products and variety in skate, snow, surf and exclusive streetwear and shoe brands Pures customers extend far beyond their Annapolis location. Pure prides itself on making customer service its number one priority, with product knowledge and having the right product mix a close second. The store and the website feature an ever growing brand inventory such as Nike SB, Nike Snowboarding, Adidas skateboarding, Vans, Diamond, HUF, LRG, RVCA and The Hundreds. The shop also prides itself on having the largest variety of longboard equipment in the area; with brands like LandYachtz, Rayne, Caliber, Cult Wheels, Abec11 and many more. Pure puts on monthly skateboard jams/events in their local skateboard park as well as sponsors many longboard slide jams and races in the DC Metro Area.
