Why Does Ayesha Takia Have Big Boob

Tumblelog

In this age of Twitter the importance of the classic blog has lost something. Years ago a blog was "the" medium over which you have conveyed his thoughts, opinions and knowledge.

Twitter has taken over here, at least in part, the function of information dissemination.
How fast are not written to 140 characters with a link to an interesting article or message! But will 140 characters are sometimes too little, for example, if you show a picture caption with a quote or is it here already scarce. Of course this is through services such as external twitpic possible but only via a link. To prefer the whole thing on a blog without paying much more content will often not ...

But the Web 2.0 would not be Web 2.0 if it had not been invented for some new services: the tumblelog.

What's next?


According to Wikipedia:
A Tumblelog is a variation of the Weblogs, content and graphics, but less structured. In Tumblelog be found objects from everyday life published on the Web, in particular, links, quotes, pictures, text and video. Unlike the author of the blog is not usually Tumblelog own judging from the entries and comments from readers are not provided.


According Tumblr (a service provider):
To make a simple analogy: If blogs are journals, scrapbooks are Tumblelog.
You can also look at slightly more structured Tumblelog as blogs that make it easier, faster, and more fun to create post and share stuff you find or.


Tumblelog belong to the point in the ranks of the microblogging services . There are similar to the way Twitter a community with readers / followers to form. The comment functions are given and can either be on or turned off. The idea behind it is rather not to use them, since you can only "just" posting his impressions.

Where was the word "Tumblelog" and what it means?


Tumble (English) = tumble, topple, tumble
Maybe in the sense to understand that the contributions in loose Tumblogs hineinpurzeln ... According to various sources

it is in this blog 2005, the first mentioned have been. An introductory presentation is

to it on the net book during a Web Monday in Frankfurt in 2006.

Similar to Twitter, it is also for the provider Tumblr some additional services:

list of 50 can exceptional Tumblogs


One of my favorite Tumblogs that is where I have mentioned in a previous post. He calls himself Music + pixel shows and nice pictures and graphics in combination with text lines from songs.

For whom are now Tumblelog for?
In principle for each. Twitter is indeed used mid abide by people from all sectors whether private or professional. Tumblelog here are similar to knitting. is currently perhaps a slight tendency that the medium of creative people from the scene such as photographers, writers, graphic designers, advertising people, designers, etc. is used. one hand, as an extended bookmarking service - on the other hand, to their own creative work or everyday life situations, etc. to show.

future, you can also like Twitter as a Tumblelog Additional channel to introduce blogs.

also for the tourism this can be interesting. A separate channel for photos of the region and maybe a short sentence to do so. The integration with Flickr may remain on the main blog - but as a collective alternative for photo impressions a Tumblelog can probably clearer than a Flickr account be.
