zetahydrae: The problem with tumblelogging
I feel almost bad creating an emotionless link to this post, but whatever.
Prashanth makes good points, and I really do think it’s the biggest problem with tumblelogging: it’s basically del.icio.us with a feeling of authorship, but so many tumblelogs don’t take authorship seriously, and add nothing meaningful or thoughtful to the content that they post and don’t own.
It’s a paradox because uninteresting assholes are blogging easier, but genuinely interesting people who normally wouldn’t have time to blog are tumblelogging.
You get the good, you get the bad, you get them both and then you have.

I think I have this problem right now and after I settle on a proper design, I’m sure it will change. I’m convinced there is a relationship between content and design. Although, not in the traditional sense. More-so that one dictates the other and I’ve been stymied in the past because of it (not posting or writing b/c I knew my WordPress theme was broken, etc).
