I like how hip Tumblr. It definitely has a different vibe and audience to it than other kind of blogging sites—I mean, when I first stumbled onto Tumblr, I was just really struck by how “cool” and youthful it was. I don’t know how to describe it.
That said, Tumblr is kind of soul-less. It doesn’t have that communal kind of atmosphere like Livejournal does or Wordpress… etc. Tumblr isn’t meant to be those things, but there’s an emptiness there because of that. Most Tumblogs I’ve seen are collections of pretty things. Nice, aesthetically pleasing collections of pictures and quotes… but they don’t mean anything. Maybe I’ve only been looking through the wrong Tumblogs or whatever, but the majority come off as superficial and pretentious, honestly.
