When Tumblr first came out I started an account and posted little things on the side but didn’t link to it anywhere. After a month or two I realized I had posted loads of content there and nothing to my primary site. So it seemed logical to switch.

We do this too, at TBG. We have a homebrew CMS, but a bunch of us now just use Tumblr, and import our entries into the TBG CMS via RSS. It’s so much easier to Tumbleblog. (via rickwebb)

I still don’t get Tumblr. I like to read it because it’s quick and easy, but the whole reblog thing doesn’t really click with me. I mean, why would I want to make all of my followers read a comment that I want to make on someone else’s post? And this adding on to the “Source” of a quote to add my two-cents. Messy. I get that they’re trying to “fix” comments, and that it seems like a lot of people can work with it, but so far it hasn’t made me want to really do much more than reload my dashboard and [love - had to convert because the bracket was screwing the HTML] things.

Buster brings up a good point and I should be clear: It annoys the shit out of me that tumblr doesn’t have comments, I think Reblogging is fun but not a replacement and I think far, far more feel this way than Tumblr believes. The lack of commenting is Tumblr’s equivalent of AT&T’s shitty network - everyone puts up with it because they have to, but are kind of annoyed by it.
