Tumblr.com: A Micro-blog? Blog-ette? Something Else?
Submitted by todd on Sat, 2007-03-10 22:00
Tumblr.com (no "E" as with other Web 2.0-ish site names). The free web service's slogan is: Tumblelogs are like blogs with less fuss. You might say, well any blog can be maintained with less fuss using any of the various blogging services. And, I tend to agree. But, Tumblr makes it easy to perform common blogging tasks in a single minded way: Add a photo (from desktop or phone), add a link to an interesting web site, add a video feed from some video website, etc. And, since it doesn't allow comments, there's no "community" to worry about (or blog spam for that matter). It is retro blogging with Web 2.0 touches. I'm trying it out for a while to see how it works for me.
