Tumblr

I decided to give tumblogging a try. I’m hoping that ease of use and lowered expectations will get me to post more often, and I’m liking it so far. It covers the large middle ground between blogging and twittering. I can put up something interesting without feeling like I need to construct a coherent post around it, and I don’t feel like I’m pestering people with twitters (not to mention that it allows for richer media types).

I realize I could just do the same thing on this blog if I wanted to, but there’s something about the minimalist formatting and ease-of-use that just seems to work. So I’ll continue to post longer pieces here (I’ve got a number that I need to just sit down and write), and I’ll keep posting inane comments to Twitter, but I imagine that the majority of interesting things I find will end up on my tumblelog.
