In my experience, the advantage of Tumblr is not technological but social. Tumblr's social networking features enable very simple media sharing and re-sharing. As is true of nearly all of the centralized social web services (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), there are many superior technologies but no superior social network.
I would love to see more posts on our blog(s) but I find that Tumblr tends to be more of a media aggregation/sharing network than a blogging platform. For example, this is the tumblr of Dan Lopatin (from the remix panel): http://skulltheft.tumblr.com/ I don't know anything about Tumblr's terms of service, ethics, history, or export features so I can't comment on that. However, I think the rich media-sharing and geeking out that happens there makes it a potentially powerful tool for sharing FC-related videos / images / songs, etc. Kevin On Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 10:47 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Rich Jones <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [FC-discuss] sfc tumblr? > > What's the advantage of tumblr over our own blog?
