Due to peer pressure I have gone out and got a tumblr blog. In its infancy I still don’t know what it does that say this blog doesn’t save a good deal of interactivity with other tumblr users (and that’s likely enough). But I do worry what this means for this blog… I already blog far less than I’d like and having yet another outlet for my social media and writing means this blog may suffer further.
Which is a shame. I know I’m not alone in this lament, as many of my best friends have complained that better and more creative methods of sharing on the internet are destroying sort of traditional blogs. Unless your Empire Avenue price needs a boost of course.
I’m a little excited for the change, but naturally a little worried. Explained as alternately as either a blog that is easier to update on the go or a long form twitter I’m still not convinced I needed another outlet like this. But let’s find out… I’m off to do the 30 day Tumblr challenge which many have told me is the way to start.
If you’re looking for me on Tumblr I’m at phendrana.tumblr.com.
Think of your Twitter as random thoughts, your blog as considered thoughts, and tumblr as a place where thoughts don’t belong. I’ve found it best used as a digital scrapbook.
I agree with Spencer. My tumblr is mostly for thoughts on the go.
