Finally Using Tumblr
I’ve known about Tumblr since its release, and though it seemed like an interesting service, I didn’t feel that I had a need for it at first. A few weeks ago I signed up for it and poking around the dashboard (which has a great interface) I realized that I possibly had a use for it.
I wanted a place to consolidate my activities online between my three blogs (this one, personal blog, and the Tridea blog), Twitter, and my Del.icio.us links which are imported below in the Distractions section. Aside from those, I also wanted a place to to post media that isn’t necessarily design/development related, which is what my Del.icio.us links are limited to to keep within context of the content on this site. But I also find other interesting stuff that is not always related to design, so I not only want to keep a log these things, but maybe others could find it interesting as well. Tumblr gives me the chance to do that and bring all of my interests to one location.
So I purchased a domain name to use for my Tumblr account, which is johnwphillips.com, and though I’ve only been using it for a couple days, I am liking it so far.
Do you use Tumblr? If so, how do you like it, and how do you use it?
