I’ve been messing around with Tumblr for a couple of weeks. My Tumblr blog, Tumbleona, (hat tip to Leo Laporte via James), is a collection of my "quick bite" finds and my feeds around the web. I’ve plugged my blog, del.icio.us and Twitter feeds into it. I tried my Last.fm feed but it was just too much content and it really didn’t add anything, so I killed it.
Setting up a Tumblr blog is dead simple. So is using the "share on tumblr" bookmarklet to post. The dashboard lets you see the posts of friends and track followers. It includes design settings (pre-set or custom), easy updating of feeds, and options to add a domain name, etc.
Giana Trapani at Lifehacker writes in her post "Geek to Live: Instant, no-overhead blog with Tumblr:
"I don’t have the time to keep it up."
"I don’t have that much to say that often."
These are the reasons most people abandon their personal weblog or
never start one. But we all come across interesting tidbits online
every day that we want to remember and share – links, photos, videos,
even that side-splitting IM session you had with your co-worker. A new
blog format, called a "tumblelog," is a no-hassle, no-writing-required
way to share those bits and maintain a personal site with the least
possible commitment.
