Tumble with me

You've heard me rave about it before, but I'm going to do it again.  Tumblr rocks.  It's ridiculously easy to update, and if you have several different sources of web content (blogs, Twitter, flickr, etc.), you can feed them all into the Tumblr and get a snapshot of what's going on in your online life at any given time.

I think it's also a massively underutilized tool.  I and many others have been talking about blogs until we're blue in the face.  Tumblr provides such an easy way to enter the world of blogs in literally seconds.  If you love reading blogs but haven't made the jump to starting one of your own, might I suggest Tumblr?

All you Twitter freaks (myself included).  Why not feed Twitter into your Tumblr site?  The point of text on a "tumblelog" is to be short and concise.  140 characters - how more short and concise can you get?

I know, you're sitting there saying "I don't have time to update another site!"  That's the beauty of it! 

Take 10 minutes and feed your tweets and your flickr images into a tumblr account.  I bet you end up "creating" an amazing site.  And the beauty is, you never have to update it again!

Have a Tumblr page?  FOLLOW ME AND I'LL FOLLOW YOU!!!

UPDATE:  I just heeded my own advice and added my Twitter feed into Tumblr :)

Ok wow, I've been a Tumblr for 5 minutes and I love it already! :) Yay! Thanks Mark! Now I'll NEVER sleep :p But you have made one BUSY woman very, very happy :) Now, what to do with all this free time?

[Kelly (Speedy Gomer)]

I really, really hate doing anything because or even when everyone else is doing it, but I need somewhere for just me. This seems to fit the bill. I plan to use this for musings and whatever flies out of my cluttered little brain. Consider yourself warned. ;) http://CorrineInRealLife.tumblr.com/

There's not really a good way (that I know of) to find other tumblrs. That's part of why I posted this!

BTW - tell Jason he was crackin' me up with his commentary during that country awards show the other night. I didn't watch the show, which probably made it all the funnier...

Jason and I have the tumblr thing going on...

I'll tack my "FOLLOW ME" request on to yours, if you don't mind. Question: how do you find other tumblr-ers? Is there a search method I'm missing.

[Mark Lee]

The point of Tumblr, and what makes it so easy to set up and use, is that it doesn't have all the sidebar mucky muck. I have seen a few tumblelogs where they've "hacked" the system and done blogrolls, etc. but I think it would involve some coding.

Another thing that makes Tumblr cool is that it DOESN'T have comments. It takes some getting used to, but it's cool that you don't have comments to manage and you can leave your tumblelog unattended and it won't be overrun with spam comments when you return!

Give it a whirl and let me know how it goes!

Ok, I took your prescription Dr. Lee ;P
I see on Tumblr that we can follow people and read their stuff, but is there any actual communication available, between members, like there is here?
I like the Comments here and being able to put up a list of other Blogs. I am just too cheap to pay for space right now ;)
...*thinks*....too cheap or too poor?
