Tumblr is about to launch some kind of live video service, and has teased something big coming at 4:00 PM EST on 21 June. Interested readers in India will have to stay up awake tomorrow morning to witness the launch for themselves, which is scheduled for 1:30 AM on 22 June Indian time.http://livevideo.tumblr.com/post/146063566225/launches-tuesday-june-21There is a bit of a mystery to the whole affair though. This is because of the url of the blog. There is nothing to indicate that the blog is officially owned by Tumblr in any way, so take this hype with a pinch of salt. The blog may be a prank or a viral site of some kind, instead of what it seems to be, Tumblr launching live video.The launch is scheduled to start with a live stream from Mars. NASA's Spirit and Opportunity exploration rovers and the Curiosity Science Laboratory are on Mars at the moment. There is a substantial announcement expected, where something big will be inflated in a vary small room. Hopefully, it is not just one of the balloons that Google allegedly stole.New York blogger Adam J. Kurtz will be answering questions. There is a Harlem globetrotter who will teach viewers how to play basketball. The event does seem to be heavily influenced towards New York, because of two figures from that area. Finally, a metaphysical truth about Tumblr blogs are promised.
