Not that you need another site of mine to check out, and that I really need a different site, but I thought I’d play around a little bit with Tumblr. For those of you who don’t know, Tumblr is a site that can pull in all of your RSS feeds for different web applications you might use, and put them all on one site. For example, my Tumblr page now pulls in my feeds for my blog, my Flickr page, my del.icio.us links, my YouTube videos and anything I Digg. So, basically, if you want an RSS feed for most anything I do and upload to the web, this is the feed you want. Now, why you would want that, I’m not entirely sure, but there it is. There has been some fuss about new “blogs” called tumblelogs - which are supposedly more true to the original form of blogging. In the past, people just made quick posts, links and logs of the internet. However, now blogs have turned into more essay-length posts, and has gotten away from what some call the more “true” web-logging experience. Some have started to switch over to this new “tumblelog” form of blogging like Lo-Fi Tribe; though blogger Ben Gray at Openswitch, who had a “hybrid tumblelog,” decided to switch back to the more usual form of blogging. He describes his switch here. There are others, I’m sure, who are experimenting with this old/new (might we say ancient/future?) form of weblogging. What do you all think of tumblelogs? A step forward, or backward for weblogging? If you’re interested in this - here is some reading for you: Share This
