I’ve finally done it, I signed up for tumblr today. I’ve been aware of it for a while, but at the time I thought how on earth am I going to manage this along with my blog and the millions of other social networks I belong too. But, as we got talking about tumblr in the office, I thought I might as well give it a shot.
Today is my first day of tumblring, and I have to say, so far I really like it. It has a totally different feel to blogging. It feels, almost, more informal than my blog. I don’t have to write much about anything, simply link to something or embed the video or photo right there.
I really like the media focus that tumblr brings to blogging. It feels good to drop in a YouTube video, and write something short about it and that’s that! As they say, a picture (or video in this web 2.0 world) is worth a thousand words. I also like the focus on different types of posts you can make, i.e. a link, a photo, a video or even a quote. It displays each post type in a slightly different manner. Makes for quite a nice visual experience.
I wonder if tumblring will become a word? Like googling and blogging…

tumblr certainly looks good – and the media focus is great. It’s very hard to find the time to manage a detailed blog, so the quick post nature of tumblr really suits me.
