Look, we think that this is really important. While they have used Tumblr as a temporary solution in the past few days, their voice is one that Tumblr really needs. It’s something that would make the Tumblr community at large stronger. It’s something that could encourage people who haven’t been following the Egypt conflict to follow it. And it’s a way to encourage the free flow of information that they’ve been so good at with the recent crises in the Middle East. So, please reblog if you agree. This may be the 100th thing on their list considering everything going on, but it would be something that would prove greatly valuable to them in the coming days and weeks. Thanks Newsflick for providing the seed of inspiration for this. (EDIT: Great response already, everyone. Hope they’re hearing the community’s interest. Check here for an update. To emphasize, their daily live blog would be a great fit here. SECOND EDIT: They’ve responded! Mohamed Nanabhay of Al Jazeera English had this to say: “Right - that’s more than enough to get us on board. We’ll be rolling on Tumblr before days end. In the meantime you can catch our current old school liveblog here. Thanks everyone!”)
