Tumblr is unlike any other blogging service. It is actually so awesome that many of its dedicated users are working hard to keep it an exclusive community. We don't want outsiders who don't get Tumblr to ruin us. Do you think of the Fight Club? Well the first rule of Tumblr is not to talk about Tumblr, as dictated by those devoted users. I'm clearly in violation of the first rule, but for good reason!
In a statement made this week, Tumblr has just found a major investor and a new product manager. It's clear that they have planned big things for the future of Tumblr, so there is no reason to keep it secret any longer. If you haven't had the pleasure to use Tumblr yet, let me tell you why.
It's not like WordPress, Blogger, or any blogging platform you used previously. Such text posts on Tumblr are rare. Rather than sharing text, users share images, video, music, any sort of multimedia that is fast and easily consumed. You can follow users whose posts you like, re-blog them on your own blog, and like individual posts. Once you follow a number of users, their posts appear on your dashboard. This dashboard is the first thing you see when you login and is just like the Twitter schedule. In fact, the entire service is much like Twitter except more socially.
