I’ve already talked about what I think about using this blog and what purpose I can find for it, but what do other people think about them? what does a blog mean to them?
Not everyone has a wordpress blog, but I do know a lot of people with a tumblr blog and I decided to ask a friend their feelings about their blog.
For one of my friends, who I’ll call Kyle, the purpose and meaning of his blog is to share the content he creates, he believes tumblr blogs were the correct tool for that because the website uses the dashboard to present the content in a quick manner, where a lot of people are able to see it. Kind of like a “faster blogging” than the more commonly known blogging that you can see here with wordpress.
He says that unlike twitter, which is also managed with a dashboard where you see multiple posts of the different people that you follow, tumblr allows you to present longer posts, even without the need of words or captions and have an archive and tags for them which you can also use to search things exclusively inside the blog or the entire website.
These reasons for why he uses a tumblr blog are pretty much identical to mine, since we both use it for content sharing, although it does have its disadvantages depending on the content, plus the fast paced nature of the website makes it not appropiate sometimes for very detailed pieces of art, favoring more the quick funny comics or silly images.
