When working at Tumblr, I created a joke tumblr about dogshaming—a nascent (at the time) meme format where people would take pictures of their dogs right after those dogs did something naughty, with a caption or sign confessing to the crime. I reposted such images from a half-dozen other tumblrs, opened up the blog to submissions, and told my Tumblr colleagues that if they needed filler for the “Radar” promotional spot on Tumblr’s universal dashboard, they could post the Dogshaming bit. Which they apparently did, pretty much immediately.
