i just got one that i'm going to be using in earnest today, it is here (http://warmandpunchy.tumblr.com). post your tumblr blogs i know you have them and use them.
my i guess general goal with the tumblr is to post a couple of things a day that are relatively inconsequential but post once every two days with some actual like paragraphs and thoughts of my own on it. i am looking to kind of stretch several muscles writing-wise with it. please consider to join me on this adventure where we make dorky posts about things on the internet & eventually degenerate into youtube meme shouting matches
-
mine is here (http://sleepinginlight.tumblr.com/), it is pretty random.
-
no
-
also tumblr is probably the main reason why my posting is so terrible now
-
I don't have a tumblr.
I guess I'm not part of "everyone".
:-(
-
I started a tumblr, and the next day was when they started going down every other day, so I deleted it :( Have they gotten better about keeping their servers up and running? I started a Wordpress account instead but don't know many people who use WP.
-
Mostly reposting of stuff and music I'm listening to (http://thepopstalinist.tumblr.com/).
Also I guess Tumblr is the new Facebook, since people are against it on principle?
-
http://tigerdearest.tumblr.com/
This is mine but I don't have any original content on there, I just reblog things I think are cute/funny.
-
I don't think I use my tumblr properly.
-
i'm stoked on tumblr i think, i don't know why. something about the format just appeals to me more than a standard blog
-
I prefer using a standard blog for standard blogging. The link is in my signature but I haven't blogged for like, a month, because I have been busy/dead from heat.
Why is 'blog' and its variants not a word in the Chrome spell checker? Eesh.

It's definitely user-friendly, which is exciting at first, but over time it becomes apparent that Tumblr essentially exists as a meme farm more than anything. I meant to perform actual feats of writing on my tumblr and it's just no use. Images of all sorts and short quotes are its bread and butter. It's essentially a more expansive version of Twitter.
-
My personal blog is here (http://christophekazoo.tumblr.com). I haven't posted on it in a while, but when I do, it's half split between reblogging stuff I like and traditional blogging.
I also started a really stupid tumblr called Look At This Fucking Cow (http://latf-cow.tumblr.com), which combines the bovine power of pictures of cows and not-even-witty captions that accompany them. Let me know if you'd like to contribute?
-
i have a tumblr
www.allis-n.tumblr.com (http://www.allis-n.tumblr.com)
i actually would be pretty excited about followers

Tumblr is the new Facebook, since I don't have one because I don't understand what they are for

Sup, not-part-of-everyone buddy

It's worth watching the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qclBGpRt0b4).

Holy crap.

What the world needs - another forum for the exhibition of pointlessness and lack of taste.
-
I have heaps of taste Paul, mainly my taste is for cupcakes but sometimes it is for peanut butter chocolate.
Also I don't know where you get this 'pointless' part from.
;)
-
Mine is mostly garbage and lulz but that's what I use it for, to amuse myself.
Cthulhucore (http://cthulhucore.tumblr.com)
-
So people mostly just use tumblr as their own personal pointless thread?
-
pointless thread / creepily reposted pictures of cute girls.
-
I used to use it as a porn repository as well. Then I realised that I didn't really give a fuck about porn.
-
wtf is tumblr
I mean, I know there is a site called Tumblr but I don't know what it's for. Other than making me increasingly out of touch that is.
-
What the old man just said. I already use Facebook and Twitter for posting mindless drivel.
-
pointless (http://tomewing.tumblr.com/), tasteless (http://agrammar.tumblr.com/)
-
My tumbler.
(http://www.chickslovethecar.com/images/tumbler/prototype.jpg)
-
I like to fill it with tumblers.

I haven't updated my tumblr thing for about three months, but I may do so again in the future when I have times. I am not sure I 'get' tumblr; I thought it was for high-concept blogging. My high-concept blog is Descriptions of Heavy Metal Videos (http://heavymetaldescriptions.tumblr.com/), 'Textual descriptions of the events which occur during various heavy metal music videos.'.
I should definitely get some more done some time.
-
I have one but I don't use it that much. In Tumblr's defense it is pretty good for art blogs.
-
Hey guys!
I really like tumblr.
I use mine for all original photo work, and occasionally a personal life post or something that I've been a part of. It's more or less the only way I publicly share my work with the exception of a few things on facebook, but honestly I promise I post nice things most of the time.
So basically you should follow it because photos are nice especially since they're original content. plug plug etc

Yeah it seems to me that like everything else, Tumblr is just a cipher and it can be used for good and evil. I feel like Andy and thepopstalinist is doing Tumblr right. It's just another way of blogging, that tends to make cross-media stuff easier than previous blogging platforms like Livejournal. And just like there are brilliant LJ blogs, there are fantastic Tumblrs. There's nothing intrinsic to the site itself, it's just a tool.
-
Maybe I am just dumb and cant work out how to do it, but I wish there was an easier way to just browse through various posts of different tumblrs. I know if I go to the directory i can see a heap that some people have said are great, but why can't I just see a heap of posts and go to their tumblrs if I like it? That is one of the very few things about deviantart that I like, I go and look at pages and pages of art, and something jumps out at me and I go from there and follow them to see more of their stuff. I don't really know how to find new people to follow on tumblr easily other than people I already know or webcomic artists.
mine's here (http://huagl.tumblr.com) by the way. I don't update it very often; i should get back onto that.
-
You should! I like yr arts
-
Han I follow a tumblr called ArtLove, which posts different things from a bunch of artists. I don't think there is a way to do what you're saying other than to find tumblrs like that.
-
i have a tumbler. i started it with the intention of posting original artwork, but i've done that uh...once in the entire time i've had it. :| but having more followers would be cool i guess?

My tumbler.
I like to fill it with tumblers.
After you've driven to the pub in your tumbler to have a drink with the tumblers, what do you drink out of?
-
an old fashioned glass
-
No Johnny C, the correct answer is that you don't drink at all because you're the designated driver.
-
Thank you, Harry. Everyone just looked at me funny.
-
It's a shame that everyone around you thinks so little of the idea of designated drivers.

Too much stereotyping narrows the mind.
Paul is old enough to have perfected the art of applying just the right amount of stereotyping.
-

Fail, the pub I go to has a lock in. Guess what the locks have?

So who's bestservedloud? Started following me recently.
-
that's Gemm
-
sorry yeah that's me (http://bestservedloud.tumblr.com).
I never really post anything of value, just reblog a lot of stuff. i mostly use my tumblr just for the dashboard so i can read a lot of articles about trans and gay people and look at pictures of suicide girls and lady gaga.
-
Oh oh oh I recognise that name. Why do I recognise that name? Andy?
Hehe silly me. That would have been my second guess.
-
That's Gemm.

My tumblr's going through an identity crisis (http://jewlikeruth.tumblr.com/). It's original purpose is buried somewhere under my motivation, which is in turn buried under whatever seems more interesting at the time.

Don't listen to that jive turkey. I have faith in yr ability to be more awesome than you were, constantly.
-
guys i did not read this thread cause this is the first time i've been on in like at least a week and im drunk and im lazy.
however i have a tumblr it is stupidhipsterbullshit.tumblr.com you can friend me if you want. i havent friended anyone in this thread (lazy + drunk) but if you send me a friend request ill probably accpet you. i mostply just reb log + post from the pointless thread but if yr okay with that lets be tumblr bff.
(hey anna are we tumblr bffs? i feel like we should be)
-
me? well we are following each other and we totally can be! lots of things tend to get lost on my dash though...
-
wow anna like that was kind of an off handed drunken comment but like damn girl you posted to that shit right away! i almost feel honored! though i usually enjoy yr posts, i see pretty much everything since i only follow like 15 people(r/l friends and a few of you guys + like 1/2 random people i dont quite now b ut whatever)
-
Mostly I reblog stuff, sometimes I post my own crap. (http://dliessmgg.tumblr.com/)
-
Beat Happening (http://beat-happening.tumblr.com/) is mine. I post a bunch of my poetry and writing there, but I also put up my music reviews there (both local Vancouver things that you might not care about but also other music things that you could care about if you wanted to!).
-
oh and by far the best thing about tumblr is their little emails. "so-and-so has started following you on tumblr, wheeee!".
-
"so-and-so has started following you. whatever! love, tumblrbot"
-
I obliterated my old blog (http://blogiquette.tumblr.com) a while ago 'cause 1. I don't have that innate tenacity really good bloggers have, and I hate making those "waaaah sorry sorry sorry I haven't posted in x-number of months I promise this is the last time it's just school/work/euphemism for my lazy laziness" and 2. my relationship to blogs, in terms of what I can contribute beyond reblogging, is sort of not so good because all I really have is my short stories and poetry, but as a consumer of blogs I vastly prefer snippets of things (over blocks of text) or pretty pictures or noisy things like music. But I might start it up again late spring, so there.
I did this one (http://paradiseslums.tumblr.com) for a drawing class project, just to collect male-gaze-y pictures, but also just general oh!-pretty pictures.
Mostly I am just posting so that if I follow you, you aren't left feeling all :? :? :? (maybe this is just me, but I find I hate getting followed by strangers if I've done nothing to deserve it, does that make sense?)

i was wondering why you hadn't updated in forever! but uhhhhh short story & poetry tumblrs are some of my favourite tumblrs so i think you should reconsider your stance on several of the key issues *taps podium politely but firmly*
-
Oh hey I'm a latecomer to this! Here's my sketches and snapshots (http://sketchesandsnapshots.tumblr.com/), which is fairly empty as of now since the scanner is being an ass. I'll fill it up with sketchbook stuff and pictures soon enough!

What are some good short story/poetry tumblrs to follow?
Edit: I had been toying with the idea of putting some of my writing online on tumblr, and I finally got over the fear of other people actually reading what I write and just did it. There is only one post so far, but I will be putting up some old writing over the next little while. If anyone wants to follow it's http://michaelcr.tumblr.com.
-
i have the same layout as johnny c
-
I figured I should use this thing?
Mine is at www.jmrz.net
-
I made one. (http://birdsandink.tumblr.com/) There's not much there yet, but there will be.
-
I like your layout, Linds.
-
here i am (http://paradigmflux.tumblr.com/)
-
I like your layout, Linds.
Sadly, I had to change it, because the old one didn't show tags and I have to have tags, because it's being used for a class. (For now anyways. It's just to make it easer on the GA.) I may go back to it, but I like the one I've got up now, too.
-
FINE. http://questionablylate.tumblr.com/
I probably won't do much actual blogging on it, but it seems like a handy place to keep links I want to remember or share, and I'll probably put my own art on it from time to time. I don't really have a theme for it I guess.
-
I have a photography tumblr now too, for my own stuff.
photography.jmrz.net
-
I just started a Tumblog several days ago. ^.^
http://writeinspiration.tumblr.com/
It's basically if you wanna write but think you can't seem to spend the time on it. I provide motivation and such and make you actually think or whatever. Or at least, I try. I haven't gotten as violent with it as I'd like.
I also include a picture I took at my college's campus (or at least that's what I'm using right now) with each blog post. =D
-
Www.dinmorerentumblr.tumblr.com
Tour blog thingy! Photos and stuff....
-
so I wanna make a tumblr of my own, but I'm not quite sure on the name. I wanted to get Star and Garters, but unfortunately it's already been taken
Any ideas on other names?
-
Sometimes I forget that I have this thing for months at a time: http://ryanjameshitchcock.tumblr.com/
I keep seeing "shitcock" in your name
-
Whelp, here (http://amazingmrk.tumblr.com) it is. It's not much but....it's not much
-
Hey, I done made me one of these things! (http://itisryancameron.tumblr.com/)
-
This is an old thread but I just found it, so, apologies. I just moved to the Czech Repubic from the States so my blog should get a little more interesting than it was... at least photo-wise.
Pauly Potluck (http://paulypotluck.tumblr.com)
-
So I got a tumblr out of curiosity and because I wanted to try a thing (http://smsensation.tumblr.com/).
-
'mum'? Really?
-
Mine doesn't know the word "Nope".
Also, I'm going to pretend that your tumblr is actually called S&M Sensation.
