Putting the Why in Tumblr
Smart.
Exactly
glecharles:“Reblogs plus comments plus reblogs equals intercourse. (Not sexual, just intercourse.) So some days your dashboard really can feel like a bulletin board, with people reblogging each other, back and forth, adding new commentary, all throughout the day. This can be fine or it can be excessive, but for sure it whittles at the notion of the blog post as a publication and instead makes it feel transient, like a forum post. Which is also fine, but also changes the potential state of the post. A tumblelog is several things at once, for good or ill.
Tumblr posts are always subject to reblogging and commentary, but that commentary isn’t filed beneath the post like a blog comment is, it becomes part of the post, transforming the statement into part of something larger.
Except maybe transform isn’t the right word. Maybe the statement is dragged, cussing and spitting, into an argument or pushed out into the incoming traffic of withering jokes. The statement can be hoisted onto shoulders and paraded around the bar or it can be pantsed in front of the whole class.”

So, this post by Will, combined with Debbie Stier’s love for it, have pushed me to give Tumblr a try.
