My friend Sameer was raving about his brother’s Tumblr site to me tonight. I’d signed up for an account last month but hadn’t done much with it yet. I decided to revisit tonight and I think I get it now. If you have been looking for a way to put pics from your phone right up to the web with little effort….check this out.
JBinFrisco Tumblr site
I saw this sweet VW van sitting in the parking lot at Starbucks yesterday. I couldn’t help myself. I’d love to drive this thing around town for a few months. With Tumblr, snap a pic. Email it to a special address that Tumblr provides and you are all set.
The site will accept text, pics, video, links, & quotes. If only they added music I’d be hooked. Tumblr enables one to engage in Tumblelogs.
Why don’t they do music? Probably DRM.
{drifting off topic} I hate DRM. The music distribution industry is drowning in their own spew. It is also stifling the growth of new genres and mash-ups. Someday there will be a market driven model that eliminates the middle man in music delivery, freeing all the artists and consequently music fans everywhere. I’d love to dive into this more if it inspires any thoughts from others. Does it?
Back to tumblr. It would be fun to figure out how to embed your Tumblelog inside a wordpress or typepad blog. I’m sure it’s possible. If anybody reads this and knows how……show me the light!!
