Tumblr seems like a bizarre platform for the blug. It's not very comment/discussion-friendly, and it is, shall we say, "youthful" in its demographic appeal. By youthful, I mean its dominated by teenagers and college students "reblogging" about teen celebrity idols, instagram photos of fashionable clothing, porn, and marijuana. There's a string vibe of young people trying to "hook up". Riv seems pretty out of place on tumblr, IMO.
Anybody can get a tumblr account and "follow" Riv (similar to "friending" in Facebook). Often you need a separate disqus account to leave comments, depending on how the blug is configured. With the standard tumblr comment function (which may be turned off), users could comment, but Riv can't respond in the comments directly, but can address the comment in a separate post. The Riv blog follows a more "traditional" blog format, rather than that of a teenager blogging and reblogging snippets 20 times a day. Again, it's odd to me that a company like Riv, following an older style format and presumably catering to non-teenagers, would choose tumblr when Blogger or Wordpress or whatever would seem to be a much better fit. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
