Tumblr


Tumblr is an online blogging service that is somewhere between Facebook and Blogger.  It basically uses the format of Facebook posts. The only real major difference is that Tumblr primarily a blogging site, as opposed to being a social communications site. So otherwise, blogger is focused more on content then friends, though you can still follow them if you wish of course.  The great thing about blogger is that there are so many customizable features. Your profile can be designed to your exact specifications with HTML formatting how MySpace profiles are.  I enjoy this blogging format much better then blogger because you can view multiple blogs from different users at once, as opposed to blogger, where you may only view one blog at a time. This is a more efficient way of disseminating information browsing blogs.
There are many limits to Tumblr on how much you can post. Only 10MB of music a day, only 100 over all, and only 75 pictures are a few examples. This is done in an effort to stop spam. But this also hampers those who use it a lot.
Each user has their own person blog profile that they make. Once on your dashboard you have the choice in posting text, photo, quotes, links, audio, and video just like Facebook. It is very straight forward and simple. Not much really else to say except that I like this format of reading blogs better.
