A while back, I recommended Tumblr as a dead-simple blogging platform to a friend. Now, if you’re just writing full blog posts and not taking part in the Tumblr community, you’d be a bit of an odd duck. It would be the 2009 version of someone who decided to write an economics blog on LiveJournal.
Hmm… LiveJournal. Is Tumblr the new LiveJournal… or LiveJournal for adults?
In both cases, there’s clearly something *more* going on than just publishing. In Tumblr, there’s a community with it’s own social currency—reblogging. Nearly three quarters of my dashboard is reblogs of others. Do my friends only express themselves in relation to others—unable to convey original thought? Or is it a function of how easy this is to do? Was this community behavior evolution or intelligent design?
