Abstract

In this first part of a two-part article, Will Myddelton and Martin Belam explain why Tumblr is popular.

Tumblr may not be as well known as Wordpress or Twitter but it offers an interesting alternative because it is easy to set up, and allows you to publish as much or as little as you want using a free iPhone app, by email or by phone.

What’s inside
Tumblr is a publishing platform that allows users to build up a web scrapbook of text, quotes, links and images. It has different categories of information which has had an impact on user behaviour. The fact that it encourages the posting of just one photo or just one quote from the net makes it closer to a “microblogging” platform than a “blogging” platform. This can be less intimidating for users as they are not confronted with the expectation that they are going to have to type out 350 words before they can hit publish. Setting up is easy. It takes less than 30 seconds – enter your email, specify a password, choose a URL and you’re ready to publish.
