In case you haven’t seen yet, Tumblr launched a new site and iOSapp called Photoset!

It lets you make photo sets (kinda like collages) without having to post it on Tumblr. It gives you a URL which makes sharing a collection of photos super easy.

Tumblr Launches Photoset Site & App

The Economist + Pressly + Tumblr = Electionism

The Economist recently launched a 2012 presidential HTML5 site for tablets called Electionism and uses a nifty bit of MacGyvering to get it done.

It appears the Economist Group Media Lab is using Tumblr as a backend where they curate content from various news sources. These feed into Pressly, a startup that pulls RSS feeds and Twitter posts, and extracts the content contained within links for magazine-style tablet display.

Pictured above are various screens from a tablet display and includes the Electionism Home, Category, Twitter and articles. The site currently works on the iPad, Galaxy Tab and Kindle Fire.

Still looks a little buggy, but this could turn into a valuable resource as the election proceeds. I wish I knew about it last night to see how it worked during the Primary.
