Frank Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) ......................I promise - - - I kinda love / hate how Tumblr doesn't allow others to see who you're following / who's following you. It feels nice, but in a bad way. I'm nosey. In my quest to gain an audience at the moment. For some feedback. I'm liking Paj's tumblr -- very direct & concise whereas I post, generally, anything that I like. It seems you put a lot of thought into what you post. Daft's is great too, he posts some things which genuinely make me LOL. We've such a connection now.

Paj! Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah I'd like to see who people follow if they have a stunning blog so I can siphon off their stun, BUT then I like the privacy at the same time - as my dashboard is a stunning melange of things. Fine art, film posters, new music, porn (ish), gifs, illustrations, Madonna images/news etc etc. All my stars aligned. And I'd rather people didn't know what my dashboard looked like. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I feel with tumblr you have to be relatively conservative with the reblog button. Only use it for complete gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Tumblr is my scrap book. That's why I tag like a Boss. If I need inspiration (lol) I just look at that tag. I'd be conservative with a real blog but with Tumblr, if it evokes a reaction it's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I don't reblog at all. tbf on my old one I used to create my own gifs but it got too much work. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I used to hardly reblog, but these days I find it's just better, I do it much for the same reason as Daft, it's basically my online thoughts/clippings/images etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdriver Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 bladinkat told me a story about how her boyfriend deletes his tweets so he never has more than 100 tweets at one time, and this has somehow manifested itself in my attitude to Tumblr; I found myself thinking "Fuck I have to delete some old ones I hate because I'm terrified to go about 50 posts." It feels like everything's now under constant scrutiny, and it has to live up to expectations, or else... / I'm a psycho / no one cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I always do that. I've already reset my thing to 0 posts loads of time becoming unhappy with where my post directions are going. Actually thinking of getting rid of my posts at the moment, again. Even started a new one deleting one that had 90 followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then Twitter is way more likely to expose embarrassing things/things you wouldn't say now, as it is used as such a stream-of-consciousness / of the moment thing, where just ejaculates their thoughts to anyone listening. One wouldn't necessarily hold everything you say on Twitter up as a universal truth, or something worth saying again. Whereas Tumblr is more vague, less of someone's personality is open for scrutiny.

Frank Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I approach Tumblr in the same sense as Twitter. As a continuous, not necessarily continuous, stream of consciousness. But in a visual sense, moreso. I like to reblog a lot -- particularly because before I got a Tumblr my favourite person on the site would post a ridiculous amount each day (still does) and I love her even more for doing so.

Jav_NE Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I used Tumblr as an online diary of our travels really, just to have somewhere where what we did was all documented and kept safe. I never really used it to network or as a daily blurb platform. I imagine it would be quite hard to get people to follow that! Unless you created great, original content and targeted those interested in the fields you wrote about. Sounds like hard work with little reward to me! Congrats to those who have done well though.

Frank Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've made another serious / silly post about myself, stupid ego. It is all innocent but reveals a little insecurity I have.

Words are so much more ephemeral and of-the-moment than pictures, gifs or videos are though. It makes less sense to hedgekeep Twitter because people are less likely to go to someone's profile and read every single tweet, where it's more of a thing to actively go through people's Tumblrs and look at past posts.

It makes less sense to hedgekeep Twitter because people are less likely to go to someone's profile and read every single tweet, where it's more of a thing to actively go through people's Tumblrs and look at past posts. I'm calling bullshit on that one although I see what you're saying. It's easy to make the mistake of differentiating between Twitter and Tumblr by viewing them as word and image-based respectively. The function of the two platforms is more disparate than that. Words are as timeless as pictures, at least the meaning behind them can be. I'd argue Tumblr is predominantly pop-culture anyway. Stumbled across an F Scott Fitzgerald quote on Tumblr which has cropped up a few times on my dash now, and deservedly so: For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. How does he do it? Everything there is plain to see and yet I can't demystify its genius.
