Why do I have a Tumblr now?

[vulgarweed]

I have a creaky old browser and the visual sensibilities of a turnip. Nonetheless, I do! Take pity on me and add me, please!

They call it "following" over there, which is a little creepy.

stalking Following! :D

...But really, Tumblr will eat your soul. Or your time, at least. It is... very addictive.

Welcome! I warn you, some of the G/O people over there are a little... intense. (you didn't hear it from me) <_<

"Following" is still less creepy than "watching" people on deviantArt.

I'm on tumblr as well. http://gwenhwy.tumblr.com/

Tumblr is great for running across the most wonderful or beautiful or humorous images, and being able to quickly bounce them along to your own followers. (I've been making a lot more icons in recent months, simply due to the increase in acquisition of striking pictures.) It's terrible for holding on a conversation (because every bloody reply appears to all your followers as a separate post, whether they're interested in following the discussion or not) -- definitely keep a foothold on LJ. Also, looking into browser extensions like Missing e and Tumblr Saviour -- the latter trained me into tagging my own posts more frequently, just knowing how annoying it is for the people who follow me but aren't interested in being spammed with pictures of that one person or whatever.

Tumblr? You too? :( Why is everyone going over there? I don't even get how it works!
