Good news, everyone. Tumblr’s Fan Mail feature is rolling out; I just got it.

Couple quick thoughts: the interface is nice and simple, but there doesn’t seem to be any auto-complete mechanism built into the address form. The only addressing aid I ran into is when I typed a blog name that I knew was wrong (finerwebb)—an error told me “Sorry, you can’t send this blog Fan Mail at this time.”

There are options to reply and delete Fan Mail, but not to publish. Apparently this is supposed to be Tumblr’s new Twitter DM-like feature, as people were using Submit way too much to send each other private messages via Tumblr.

If Tumblr has to process media for your post (typically a video you upload), it displays this homage to the early days of TV to convey your media is still in the oven. A “Processing” item also appears in your blog’s sidebar to collect all posts with media that’s cookin’.

Ben Gold:

YouTube now lets you adjust the video speed? Interesting.

The website for Fantastical, a smart menu bar calendar utility for the Mac, uses some clever animation to draw your attention to its interface and features.

Android Police displays a QR code on mouseover for most links (including links in the body of the text), allowing you to easily snap and do something with them on your device.

Anyone know if they’re using a commercially available plugin (either free or paid) to do this?

From the Google Voice help document:

If you get unwanted calls, you can choose to send the caller directly to voicemail, treat all calls from a particular number as spam, or block the caller.

Google+ recently introduced games that you can play in a browser as long as you have Flash installed. But before you start each game, you must agree to grant it access to a list of information that Google+ presents in a very clear list.

Google+ also presents the game developer’s email address for direct contact—not a contact form, or an offsite link. An email address.
