Flirting With Tumblr

Flirting with Tumblr.

I’m not sure if the word “Flirting” is a good word. But for quite some time now I’m torn whether to blog on this blog or blog on my Tumblr.

Why I am enticed by Tumblr:

  1. First perhaps I’m feeling a bit lonely here. It feels like I’m just talking to myself. Unlike in Tumblr, I can follow or be followed.
  2. I can have my own “Circle.” Tumblr has this directory wherein you can surround yourself with like-minded people.
  3. More time for content. It’s rewarding to maintain your own blog, but there are times that I spend more time on technical parts of it. Updating plug-ins, looking for more plug-ins, backing up, SEO, etc. rather than publishing new contents.
  4. Easy to post anything. This is Tumblr’s trademark which they have capitalized well. It’s quite troublesome to upload photos here. I need to upload..wait..then insert – which sometimes fail. It really gets in my nerves every time it happen. :(
  5. I can just reblog amazing stuffs if I don’t feel like blogging. And I could just “Like” a post if I don’t feel like commenting on it. There are times that I am just pushed to say: “Hey nice work!” just for the sake of letting the author know that I Liked their work.

Well the list goes on, but these are my important list to consider. I already looked for a way to migrate from WordPress to Tumblr, but I don’t think that I will be moving soon. I’m still weighing the pros and cons.

    Yes, Tumblr has features which cannot be found on other blogging platforms. Even myself, has been addicted to Tumblr for a month, (that time I almost forgot about my other blogs). My favorite part is how easily I can mingle with other fans of my favorite music artists. ^^

    Of course, whatever rocks our boat Jed ;)

    For me, it was fb that rivaled my blogging time. Because my friends communicate with me there. Unlike my blog, which can get, just like what you said, very lonely.

    I do have a Tumblr too, and I find it really cool to post just about anything there. No niche, no theme… nothing. It’s anything-that-fancy-me blog hehe… cool, isn’t it? :)
