Posted January 28, 2011 I've been on Tumblr for just over a year and I love it. You can totally personalise your dash to see exactly what you wanna be seeing by choosing cool people to follow and it's really fulfilling getting followers yourself. I have a few blogs, but they're all connected: hamishmash.tumblr.com is my personal one featuring Doctor Who, Disney, Pokemon, Pretty Men, Kids TV, Cult Comedy, David Bowie, Victorian Stuff, and of course my day-today stuff. I'm a comedian so I hope to put my standup gigs and random stuff on here too. www.hamishsteele.com I use Tumblr for my professional art blog which has all my links to stuff and all the art I want people to see. http://fyskellingtons.tumblr.com/ is a blog dedicated to Skeletons (cos there's a little bit of skeleton in all of us.) http://kaijusaurus.tumblr.com/ is dedicated to Godzilla and other movie monsters. http://fucknolisasimpson.tumblr.com/ is a VERY NSFW blog which shows the terrifying, vomit-inducing and down right WEIRD world of terrible Simpsons fan art with a particular focus on Lisa Simpson (cos she is usually the worst subject of these distressing creations.) I also write for this music blog: http://sub4love.tumblr.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2011 I checked out Tumblr, it's better than Blogger. So decided to sign-up to it. You can follow me, if you like at http://jimbobthon.tumblr.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2011 No, I don't have tumblr because I don't want to post any complaints that I have for the world to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 29, 2011 I think I'm kind of addicted to tumblr. I'm kind of surprised Rez hasn't got one. He loves to pimp himself out. (Hint: Rez, get a tumblr.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 29, 2011 so quickly in a sentence tell me what it is and whether its worth having along with twitter and facebook and whether it can feed into the likes of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 29, 2011 so quickly in a sentence tell me what it is and whether its worth having along with twitter and facebook and whether it can feed into the likes of them. It's a blog site, like Blogger and Wordpress. I believe all three can be made to automatically post updates on Facebook/Twitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 29, 2011 so quickly in a sentence tell me what it is and whether its worth having along with twitter and facebook and whether it can feed into the likes of them. I'd say it was more like an expanded Twitter than a blog site (I believe it's termed 'micro-blogging'). Connectivity wise it's very much like Twitter, content wise it's pretty much a blog. I prefer it to Wordpress and blogger because I find it way quicker and easier to post stuff to it and reblogging stuff is easy, too. Like Cube said, they can automate each other to an extent.

Posted January 29, 2011 I still don't really get tumblr. Are you supposed to post your own work, or re-post things from the internet you find amusing? Cos whenever i've visited, it's always seemed like the latter, and i can never tell which is original work, and which is re-posted from somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cos whenever i've visited, it's always seemed like the latter, and i can never tell which is original work, and which is re-posted from somewhere. 99% tends to be re-posts, for me it's a blog in picture form, I prefer to say something through an image rather than a wall of text.

Posted January 29, 2011 ok so I'm set up.... www.adamducker.tumblr.com I'm mainly gonna use it as a way of posting to both facebook and twitter (I don't like having twitter going directly into facebook as often retweet stuff I don't want on facebook) so yeah but I may be tempted to start blogging other stuff such as opinions etc...so please follow me and I'll follow you back.

Don't you share twitter stuff by joining accounts and adding #fb to your tweets anyway so you choose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 4, 2011 Does tumblr differ from other blog sites? If so, how. I clicked on Dyson's through the link in his sig aaages ago (years...?) but it didn't seem to be greatly different from Wordpress. Don't you share twitter stuff by joining accounts and adding #fb to your tweets anyway so you choose? So thats what that hashtag means? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 4, 2011 I think I'm kind of addicted to tumblr. I'm kind of surprised Rez hasn't got one. He loves to pimp himself out. (Hint: Rez, get a tumblr.) You has ze bug! I love tumblr because I can very easily post images and such compared to wordpress, which in itself is quite easy, but I just prefer it. It's also my university blog: here Yes I'm original with my names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 6, 2011 I'm trying to get used to it, but i can't see an obvious way to communicate with other users, aside from reblogging, or liking, etc. I don't like that. I like to be able to comment! I guess Tumblr just doesn't roll like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
