Phoenix, AZ – Alternative media platform Dark Cloud has announced it is launching a set of tools allowing Tumblr users to export their existing Tumblr content — and rescue all of the data. This will allow for a seamless transition of content between the old Tumblr site and the new Dark Cloud service.

Dark Cloud is a collection of software applications designed for the modern web. The key components of the platform include a digital storefront where content creators can sell their media direct to consumers, a content management system that allows content creators to have a website running inside their own domain name, a live streaming and webcam platform optimized for use on mobile and an interactive gaming platform integrated with live cams to provide a more engaging experience.

The key component to Dark Cloud’s newest offering is a direct converter that allows users to plug in their Tumblr URL – then Dark Cloud does the rest. The converter will take an existing Tumblr account and import it into a Dark Cloud profile, which will have similar functionality to the existing platform. The countdown timer on Dark Cloud site indicates the Tumblr converter will be assailable within the next five days.

Greg Ninke, head of IT for Dark Cloud, stated, “We are big believers in freedom of speech and freedom of expression. While we respect Tumblr’s decision to eliminate all adult content from their platform, we are happy to step in and provide that market segment with a high quality alternative.”
