I'm calling my Tumblr "One Finger Clicking." Too clever by half, no? A third, maybe? The URL is http://stevemasover.tumblr.com/.
I'm a word-person, not so much an image-person, so tilting at Tumblr is partly about challenging my usual habits and patterns of expression. I don't imagine for a moment that I'm setting up for a switch, I expect One Finger Typing, this blog, to be active for a good long while. If I keep at it, Tumblr will probably turn out to be a sideshow.
To date, I've never gotten serious about posting images to services like Flickr or Picassa, and while I'm inspired by my friend & colleague Quinn's picture-a-day on the Flickr platform I'm certain I'll never be that consistent ... and I'll never, ever catch up to her full body of work -- nearly 60,000 images to-date.
Will Tumblr be worth the bother? Will anybody care? Is Tumblr redundant if I already use Twitter? Is a secondary blog, albeit micro and image-focused, a silly diversion? What do you think?

What timing! I just started my first Tumblr today, to post a series of photos that will hopefully cheer up my coworkers. I'm posting them privately to Flickr, to make them easier to find along with the rest of my stuff, but Tumblr has a much nicer interface than Flickr sets for putting together curated galleries. I'm thinking of moving Women, Snakes and Stalkers there, too-- already a lot of those covers get posted to Tumblr by other people.
ReplyDelete@Quinn -- brilliant! Keep posting cat photos and you'll have zillions of followers in no time ...
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of you posting pictures from your walks...I find it oddly comforting to look at them. Lindy
ReplyDeleteI’m using BlogOnAuto [com] for all of my accounts and by far this is the best tool I ever discovered for my Tumblr. I have never used any tool as powerful as BlogOnAuto before. The results I got were very steady, legit and safe. The best part about this tool is that it runs on cloud storage and there is no need to download any software on your pc. You just need to provide information to BlogOnAuto of what you want or to be scheduled which takes very few couple of minutes and once you are done logout, close your browser or even turn your computer off and enjoy your day.
