Christmas In New York City 2023: The TikTok Perspective

piercing ken christmas logo

Christmastime was upon us and as result the entire city was overwhelmed with the holiday spirit. For the past few years, I’ve been doing several holiday themed photo gallery and video posts for the “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” side of my creative coin and the time had come to embark on this mission for 2023. Once again I would look to doing this series a little differently and was employing both short and longer form clips at most of the locations to serve up on the same day at different intervals. With the branded TikTok account using the Ken Pierce Media branding, those clips have been collected into this post for your enjoyment. This post will be updated as the videos post until the run of them has completed. Please enjoy.

Greetings my loyal readers and those who’ve just chanced upon the page from Google or another social media account. We always love your presence here on the world of Ken Pierce Media and I am pausing from the regular posting regimen to share that we have just hit another pretty awesome milestone. Earlier this year, the KPM outlet celebrated its third online anniversary and I discussed that in a post that you can examine by clicking HERE but with that news being in the rear view mirror for a few months now, its time to let you know what is so awesome. Yesterday, Ken Pierce Media published its 6000th post in WordPress.

Ken Pierce Media Posts 400th Clip on TikTok

Greetings my dear readers of the Ken Pierce Media website. I’m pausing the regular flow of content with another one of those editorial pieces that I’ve been doing whenever the Official TikTok for KPM reaches another increment of “50” video clips. Truth be told this one came up faster than I even thought it would but when you have major events like the returning Toy Fair and the New York Comic Con happening back to back you tend to jump up in the number of posts. Some might remember my saying that while having this account for a couple of years that we didn’t really use it at all until the NYCC for 2022 and its been steady as she goes since then. So here we are at TikTok clip #400 and lo and behold its from another convention that we would be attending as a member of the press. I didn’t know how I wanted to start doing videos at this one so ended up deciding on right near a photo op after claiming the cool press badge. This is a really awesome convention for those deeply into Anime, Manga and assorted Japanese culture and I was happy to be back for another year of coverage. Historically speaking, I have been part of the media covering this happening since it first began in 2017. Here now is our 400th TikTok Clip.

Tumblr To Be Downscaled Based on Lack Of Network Growth

It was just the other day when the folks over at The Verge shared a leaked memo from Automattic’s main man Matt Mullenweg under the subject “You Win or You Learn” and this memo was addressing the complications that they’ve encountered in their realm of products as it applies to Tumblr. I’ve shared the memo down below and will add some additional editorial after you’ve read it.

The Leaked Memo:
We are at the point where after 600+ person-years of effort put into Tumblr since the acquisition in 2019, we have not gotten the expected results from our effort, which was to have its revenue and usage above its previous peaks.

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Hat tip.
