Yahoo have sold Tumblr for $3 million, having bought it for $1.1 billion.

It's all because they banned this smiley .

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Don't worry. The Hall of the Wendigo will never ban that smiley.

And it will, therefore, always retain its value.

One of life unanswered question, what exactly is Tumblr?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's a blogging platform where people used to post pictures of people going and then Tumblr banned people from posting pictures like that and everyone stopped using it.

What's the point blogging if you can't

I've just cancelled my landline broadband.

Once the 30 day notice period is up, I'll be mobile only.

I hope you don't fall foul of the possible clause that another HOTWer mentioned, the one that might forbid you from using mobile broadband for the purpose you're using it.

I have checked. I am allowed to tether to my heart's content. As far as I can make out, virtually all UK Internet providers allow tethering these days.

[Fangirl Three]

Well that's a relief. I was afraid you might have come to the end of your tether.
