Great info on Tumblr and what you can do with it →
This is the post that first got me interested in Tumblr.
The Downside of Tumblr
you can’t re-arrange the order of the posts, or post-date them
there is no way to arrange for commenting.
Apparently Tumblr is not as SEO friendly as, say, Squidoo
The Upside of Tumblr
you can post from anywhere, as long as you are logged in.
posts can be as short or long as you like
it takes seconds to make a post
formatting is automatic, although you can control the formatting of your text posts with a built in WYSIWYG editor. In other words, it’s as easy to use as any text program, like Word.
Let’s say you want to send a photo to 10 friends. Instead of...
Good for Geeks, too.
I love my WordPress blog, and I love Squidoo. But tumblr is much easier than either of them. You can have a thought, and type it in in seconds, and it’s uploaded to the web where any of your friends can check it out any time.
If you’re working on a collabrative project, this is a great way to keep everyone informed of your progress.
And it can be distributed as an RSS feed, so...
It's so easy, even a PC user can do it!
You know me, guys - I like stuff that looks geeky, accomplishes something I want to do, but is easy and stress-free.
I wanted to do a presentation on blogs for this group, but damn, this Tumblr thing is so easy, and will do pretty much anything most of us users want it to do.
It takes about a minute to sign up for, and after that, this is cake! I put a tumblr bookmarklet in my bookmarks menu...
