TUMBLR: Twitter + Blogger

desmayoralgo (entry #12)


I am forever in search of the perfect online platform for my nonsensical ramblings, but I think I found my soulmate in Tumblr. Like Twitter, you can follow people (real or imaginary), but you're not limited to 140 characters -- you have the full arsenal of what Blogger offers...text, photos, videos, audio. And then some: there's a chat feature. But it's really not for the heavier attention-seekers, as it does not allow for commenting. On the other hand, blog posts can be reblogged by followers -- without your permission -- which kind of brings out privacy issues. But altogether I think it's awesome.
