My First Tumblr Experience

This site seems to join together people who love to say short things and show pictures to one another. Almost anyone is who the community is for this site. The first thing I was told to do when I joined was to add a photo of myself. I just inserted a drawing I used for anther website I’m a part of. The site went on and on about how to use it and promoted ways of promoting itself, such as using the Facebook app which could show Facebook users that you’re using Tumblr. The goals of the users is to search upon each others site and share what someone had just posted or post your own to show to others. Interactions are simple, you can follow someone and see what they’re up to. The key thing that Tumblr wants users to do is follow other people so you can be a part of the community. Social status is measured by how many people are following you. To be socially successful is to have great things posted on your account and to be known by following others so they follow you and see what you have up. In a way this site reminds me a lot like Twitter, but … better. You can post photos and videos and your words can be more than just one hundred and forty-five characters. What I do like about the site is that it’s extremely easy to use. But maybe that’s just because I’m a bit tech-savy so sites like this come naturally to me.
