Few weeks back one of my friend Dr Arjun BT(@drarjunbt), Who is very tech savvy Doc and hyperactive guy on social media tweeted “Top question to ask yourself before starting a blog – Does the world need another?”. he was trolling on the number of bloggers and he was right too. Any person with little knowledge about current affairs and access to internet will make him a blogger. blame on the free time he is provided with or the number of platforms encouraging people to bloggers.There are huge list of blogging sites with almost same functionality and intended towards jobless jacks. 

Tumblr is the latest one to join that list,

Not too long ago, I discovered the world of Tumblr. I’d been aware of it for a while, but had written it off as the domain of teenage hipsters looking to assert their identities through the endless lazy re-blogging of stuff made by other people.

(For the record, I still sort of think that’s what Tumblr is about…but now that I’m a part of it too, I’ve had to reconfigure my judgement into something more positive.)

Out of curiosity finally i finished signing up on the microblogging platform Tumblr for my next scribbling. If you’re interested in social media and blogging then you may find this interesting!  it’s not terribly long…

For people uninitiated to the world of Tumblr, a simple explanation is that Tumblr is a microblogging site used to promote the creation, curation, mashed and sharing of mixed-media content across a social network. This process is made easy for Tumblr users by means of a simple “dashboard” interface, which allows for users to add content to their “tumbleblogs”, or share content from other user’s blogs, with one click. Tumblr, unlike its dominant social media counterparts, Facebook and Twitter, allows for seamless, streamlined multi-media content creation, curation and sharing while retaining the ability for users to connect with their fellow users on an interpersonal level, even though Tumblr is not first-and-foremost a social platform.

                                                                                                           Tumblr has streamlined and reinvented both social networking as well content sharing. Taking cues from many of its social media predecessors and adapting them to the immediate and ever-changing nature of today’s Internet, Tumblr has utterly simplified for its users the process of generating and sharing content with other like-minded internet dwellers.

It is perhaps Tumblr’s overwhelming sense of community that has come to spearhead its resounding staying power in the social media landscape. As opposed to a user feeling like a cog in a seemingly boundless machine (as might the users of Facebook and Tweet), Tumblr users are enabled to create their own sense of identity and community internally and find, with great ease, other users with whom they can share content, ideas, and relatable human experience/sentiment that is simply not possible when dealing with the mainstream powerhouse social media platforms.

Happy bugging others, Oopss i meant blogging……
