So Internet, do you have any thoughts about the Yahoo-Tumblr buy out?

suggestion box yumblrIt should surprise no one that the elite of Tumblr are less than thrilled about the Yahoo buyout. The blogging-meets-social platform’s more loyal and dedicated users are of a … how shall I put this … younger-than-Yahoo demographic. Frankly, they are too cool for school and Yahoo most definitely is not (and I say this as a Tumblr user, so no one can accuse me of any name-calling nonsense). 

So take to the Twitter and Tumblrsphere they did in droves. Even the Tumblr-less had plenty to say about the deal – and here are some of the best responses to the acquisition the Internet has provided thus far.

But sometimes you can lose the original files of those moments, leaving the Instagram copy as the only available one . While you may be happy to leave it up there, it's a lot more convenient to have another version of it downloaded onto your phone or computer. While downloading directly from Instagram can be tricky, there are ways around it. Here are a few easy ways to download Instagram photos.

X seems to have deleted years of old Twitter images
The new X sign replacing the Twitter logo on the company's headquarters in San Francisco.

The social media platform formerly known as Twitter and recently rebranded as X appears to be having trouble showing images posted on the site between 2011 and 2014.
