|Is Tumblr a blog or social media?|
Tumblr is where it all begins.
| Is Tumblr a Blog or Social Networking Site? |
The creator of Tumblr, which is by David Karp in the year 2007 and according to Susan Gunelius herself the used of Tumblr which is a hybrid blogging and microblogging tool for people to publish or post on their dashboards. This also enables you to post images, videos which can be post longer than a twitter account itself. Besides that, through Tumblr itself which is fun because of the services provided while blogging without any restriction of limitation the post itself to satisfied users around the world.
According to Elise Moreau (2019), that Tumblr is a bit of both because why, Tumblr provides blogging services and after blogging customizing of page is also included in Tumblr, post a wide range of contents such as text, videos, gif and more. Tumblr provides services such as customising the blog itself to make the page interesting to be seen by users especially ladies who wants their page to be fancy for users to read or attract other users to indulge whatever is written on their page. Moreover, another comparison for Tumblr is Facebook where some of the things that can be done on Tumblr cannot be done on Facebook which shows this that there is setback here. (Murmson, n.d) Which also falls under the communities who differs the changing of social media especially from twitter to Tumblr because of the things can be done on sites respectively.
Besides that, what made Tumblr interesting again it is because the blogs made by user to read and explore more from bloggers all around the world and follow their account for more updates to be read on my leisure time. Since the evolution of Tumblr and it can be seen that most of the users are active posting their thoughts on current happening in the world as an example the recent blow-up in the movies about the Avengers Endgame which it is coming out soon there are a lot of leakages and posting about this hot topic and through social media is where users tend to know the whereabouts of the hot trending topics. This part is more under communities of movie story line which build a community there exchanging writing and opinion between each other.
Since people nowadays like to post long status on their blogs so since Tumblr is evolving where posting of topics are not limited as for some websites such as twitter which has been a rivalry seen in the social media. From my experience using social media itself sees the setback between these 3 social medias and it depends also on the user on how they used it for their personal posting there are pros and cons in using the services on every social media itself which shows that are we ready to accept of using it or not. Every post made on Tumblr itself sometimes there are people quoting on our post which made the people open their eyes in posting on the internet.
More to add, we sometimes we have to enjoy the little things that is made for us in life for future use.
