For a long time I had trouble appreciating Tumblr, but I think I finally understand its strengths — and I must not be the only one.
Tumblr is now one of in the U.S., according to data from Quancast, as reported in . It gets close to 5,000 pageviews order female viagra.
Tumblr can be used for traditional blogging, but that’s something of a misuse of the platform — if you understand blogging as a combination of thoughtful text posts on which readers can make comments to which authors can respond. Commenting, in particular, is very weak on Tumblr.
A misconception about Tumblr comes, I think, from looking at it as a blogging platform. In that light, it seems hobbled, clumsy, even painful to use. Managing posts and tags, for example, is ridiculously awkward when compared with WordPress. Managing pages is no less painful.
Have a look at , though, and you’ll start to get a clue. A post at ReadWriteWeb in launching a Tumblr site last year.
Tumblr is not a replacement for a traditional blog, and it’s not a substitute for Twitter. Tumblr is something else — part bookmarking tool, part FriendFeed, part scrapbook, part serendipitous newsfeed. Parts of its utility are the “heart” and Reblog features, which make it ridiculously easy to note that you like a post (instantly adding a Note to that effect to the post in question) and to instantly “retweet” with the ability to replicate photos, videos, quotes, links, etc. — while perfectly preserving the original source. Tumblr is thus more socially oriented than a traditional blogging platform.
For an excellent, lavishly illustrated guide to getting started, see Smashing Magazine’s (July 2010). Just this month, Tumblr to its dashboard (your central base for using Tumblr) — for me, these changes were welcome improvements (but not all Tumblr users were happy).
If you haven’t yet given Tumblr a try — or if you looked once and then left — take a few minutes now to check it out.

Even if you decide not to use Tumblr in an outward-facing way (e.g., publishing and making yourself visible through a tumblelog), you might find it very useful for following topics (via tags) and/or for logging sites, videos, or other online items for your own use.

Hi Mindy
This post by Steve Ruebel is also highly enlightening… though some don’t agree with his take on Tumblr it is very interesting reading – describing how he ditched WordPress and all his other web stuff and went 100% over to Tumblr
Best wishes
Jeremy
@Jeremy – Good link, thanks. I was stunned when I read the original post in which Steve Rubel announced he had destroyed all his blogs — such a loss to the rest of us! He’s a smart guy and I always like reading his thoughts about social media.
I may bring back the best as greatest hits. Ultimately, it came down to not being able to easily import. See Stowe Boyd’s journey –
@Steve – All the more reason to use WordPress for blogging!
[...] I’ve seen some great uses of Posterous lately, for example to support feedback on an event (UK Govcamp 2011) or as a notebook for interesting things (Andy Powell’s Aggregate).  I’d not hesitate to use it again. (Update, 29 June; great post on Taking another look at Tumblr.) [...]
Mindy,
Although I must admit that my Tumblr goes a bit unloved at times (chalk that up to being overly busy), I’d recommend Mars Edit to help any journalist manage a mix of blogs and Tumblr. It’s a great blogging tool, and it makes adding content to Drupal, WordPress or Tumblr as easy as falling off a bike. It also can be integrated with Flickr so you can easily add your Flickr photos to posts.
Thanks, Kevin! Great tip! I have not seen Mars Edit, but I’ll give it a try.
