Okay. So I set up a site at Tumblr – here it is – and you’ll also notice it’s now sitting happily in the RSS feeds in your sidebar to the right.
Someone with some Internet savvy about them explain to me the difference between a Tumblog and this monstrosity you’re reading right now? So far as I can make out, I can use Twitter to post random short crap or snarky comments about people in ill-taste, ill-fitting T-shirts, Tumblr to post links, videos and slightly longer “minute-by-minute” crap and this place to post long, pretentious ranty crap.
All in all, it’s a lot of crap. And yet for some inexplicable reason, people keep reading it. And for that, I thank you heartily. 🙂
That sound about right?

I had a Tumblr account about a year ago and didn’t use it much. I guess I have an excuse to fire it back up again.
Dammit, Pete…you and your Web 2.0 tractor beam. It’s damn near impossible for me to resist.
So far as I can make out, Tumblr is great for saying “Hey! Check this out. It’s cool.” – particularly when you can pimp it via RSS feeds and/or Twitter.
I’m yet to establish exactly what I’ll use it for, but for now it will be a repository for random brain noises, hence the title.
Shit, I never answerred your question. Sorry. Yeah, that’s about all it’s good for.
Left you a comment re: the visuals of the Tumblr. I can see myself checking that site periodically, but I look forward to your intelligent commentary more than hey-check-it-out.
@Cyranix:
Good, I seem to have Tumblr figured out then – and I’ll certainly be keeping this place as my “main” site. Tumblr is great and quick to post to but doesn’t have the flexibility of WordPress.
I agree with your comments about the theme – the longer it was there, the less I liked it 🙂 Disqus doesn’t blend in too well with it, so I’ve changed it to a different theme that works a bit better with Disqus.
