Tumblr
August 24th, 2009 | Categories: Online | 9 CommentsI recently got a Tumblr account a few weeks ago to see if it would be fun to play with. As much as I love updating my LiveJournal and this blog, I wanted something that didn’t have all the bells and whistles of LJ or WordPress. I wanted something I could publish miscellaneous thoughts or findings to without having to deal with anything overly complicated, and I thought Tumblr would be my answer.
Well, I was right. Tumblr is fantastic. To quote Tumblr’s About page:
Tumblr lets you effortlessly share anything. Post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos, from your browser, phone, desktop, email, or wherever you happen to be. You can customize everything, from colors, to your theme’s HTML.
It’s great for micro-blogging and there’s an absolute treasure trove of cool stuff on Tumblr. My Tumblr account is dontbreakthisheart and I use it to post quotes about everything related to romance. I’ve accumulated quite a collection of these quotes over the years and have always wanted to share them (sharing them via Facebook status isn’t doing it for me anymore) and Tumblr is the perfect outlet to do so!

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
The more I hear about Tumblr, the more I want to get one myself, everybody is so enthusiastic about it!
I have a Tumblr account. I don’t do the usual “post quotes and images and videos that I find cool”. I use mine to keep track of funny things people have said to me. When I get bored, I read it back and I’m entertained. :P
I love how easy it is to use. I like WordPress because I can customise it exactly how I want to, but I don’t need that for a simple quote archive. Tumblr suits my needs perfectly.
Oo, I love Tumblr! I started using it when WeHeartIt started being a piece of crap (always timing out and never working).
I’ve been on there for about a year now but never really looked properly at it. I think I shall now.
Yeah, I love Tumblr. I don’t use it as often as I should. I’m glad you found something you enjoyed. :D
I love Tumblr! I’ve been using it for over a year now and it’s just so much fun. I’ll add you :)
Looks like Twitter?
Twitter is essentially just a string of Facebook statuses. Tumblr allows you to “properly” blog.
I haven’t got a Tumblr but I think I am def going to have to check it out!
