So I’ve been thinking about social media, and in particular I think I’ll target blogging. It seems appropriate seeming as this is a blog itself. Now, for a while I’ve kept up my own personal tumblr, which is a site designed for micro-blogging. This is for me the best method of blogging. I’ve had to create personal blogs for other classes throughout my high school career and currently I have two that I have to keep up for my college courses, but those have never seemed to stick for me. It’s not that sites for true blogs are too terribly confusing, but I much prefer the simplicity of sites like tumblr. When you log in it’s nice because you are directed to your dashboard page which updates consistently with new posts from people who you’re following as well as giving you alerts to if a person made some sort of note on your posts. In a way it’s kind of like the twitter interface, only in my opinion much less confusing (plus you don’t have that annoying symbol limit that comes with tweets). I find myself going to my tumblr a lot more often than anything else (other than the addiction that is facebook) simply because I have a good deal of freedom with it while paired with the simplicity. Also, I can control how much I want to write still. The beauty of the set up is that it doesn’t look too weird to have a long post stuck in with some other short posts, pictures, videos, or audio clips. I overall find it very user friendly and would suggest others to try it out. The only issue is that you might find yourself more focused on your tumblr than on your blog.
