you can post from anywhere, as long as you are logged in.

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 having to e-mail it to them, and have your e-mail program encode it and send it to all of them, and have them maybe have to wait (if they have a slow connection) for all of them to download to their program, all you have to do instead is upload it once to your tumblr blog, and then e-mail them the link to it. The photo uploads once, and you’re friends e-mail accounts are not bogged down with anything.
You can edit the content of your posts at any time.
You can tag your posts so they are easier for you and others to find and organize them.
You can change the template in seconds with no programming. Or, if you want to get geeky, you can go in and change the CSS manually.
You can create “groups” of people with tumblogs who share interests with you. For example, we can make a group of all the people in the Mac group with tumblogs, and keep up with each other’s doings (if you want).
You can filter your tumblog. In other words, you can make one that is “private” and only accessible to people who you give the password to. Or you can keep it open to the public with no password protection. You can also decide which individual links are public or private.
You can make as many tumblogs as you like. Keep one for your family, one for work, one for hobbies, etc.
It is a great tool to create backlinks for any e-commerce sites you are working on.
