You know what would be an excellent tumblr feature?
If when you post a question it gets sent to a special public section sort of like the radar where all tumblrs could read it instead of only your followers. Then you would have a larger pool of possible respondents and a better chance to get your question answered.
Srsly you guys, get out of my head. Srsly.
I think that’s a cool idea. My version couldn’t be as slick and integrated as DavMar’s version obviously, but what if it worked like this: You go to a site, and do a one-time action so that it’ll monitor your feed for a special phrase that you put before a question. So, your feed is read and it’ll pluck out any posts with that string automatically, and place them publicly on the site.
Since I already have heylazyweb.com, I’d want to use that domain and the phrase “hey lazyweb,” before any query. How ‘bout them apples?
