There’s something not quite right…

I found this post exploring the Tumblr hashtag.

I see social media as a place for interaction. On Tumblr I see no interaction. Yes, there are Likes and Reblogs but no comments. (There are but you have to enable a third party app such as Disqus.)

On Facebook, Twitter or G+ I post, comments arrive. There are signs of life. Here, nothing.

I’m sure I’m missing something. I hope I am.

Thinking of swapping to WordPress for hosting actual writing. Unsure, still not sure if I even “get” tumblr.

OMG Tumblr, I’ve finally realized you were the biggest waste of my time.

I’m not the only person frustrated with Tumblr. What I’m not doing is abandoning my quest to understand because of these frustrations.

I just need a spark, an aha moment.

Steve Rubel: ¶ Tumblr is the Next Great Social Network

Steve says, that a great part of Tumblr is the sense of community. I get that on Facebook. I get it on Twitter and G+ but here? Never. Not once. And that’s despite three years of repeated trials. In this time I’ve attracted 6 followers, no comments, nothing. I don’t get it. I want to get it.

Brent Simmons sees a natural evolution for blogs…

“New blogging systems like Posterous and Tumblr seem to be pretty popular, and they fill a nice middle ground: short content, easy sharing, social stuff. They’re cool.

But try to imagine replacing Daring Fireball, Scripting News, Apple…
