What is tumblr?
I often get asked, “what is tumblr?” and my reply is usually nonsensical and rambling, apparently because there is no concise answer to that question.
The long version of my answer usually includes at least a few of the words and phrases below (many of which are contradictions), but I’m sure I’m missing a few so please add to this list and lets get even more confused about tumblr and its many applications in our lives.
- publishing platform
- social network
- music discovery
- Internet zeitgeist
- extension of memory
- expression of self
- blog
- micro-blog
- private
- public
- addictive
- immediate
- time consuming
