Tumblr

I am posting more and more to my tumblelog then this site so I thought I’d come out with why this is. Tumblr, which powers my tumblelog, lets me just make random posts of links, quotes, videos, photos and of course text. All this is done in a stream of thought fashion whereas blogs are more organized thoughts.

Think of it like this. A tumblelog is like a place to muse and work out thoughts. They’re much more personal then blogs because there is no commenting, there is no conversation which is actually what a blog is. A blog is a conversation with the world where as a tumblelog is a place to let out ideas and reflections of ideas and beliefs. A place to post things that interest you. A place where it doesn’t really matter if you write total crap because it’s not really meant to be taken seriously.

So that is why I am posting much more on my tumblr. Plus it’s just so damn easy to write when you are writing for yourself then it is to write to an audience.

    Tumblr rules. I’m addicted to reblogging and I love how I can use it without having to write a long and thought out post. I map my twitter, digg, delicious etc, there too. I just made a new Tumblr theme and its available for download @ SkyLite.Tumblr.com.
