It's a bit like twitter except instead of retweeting you post it to your tumblr feed, which puts a copy on there for all your followers. It's a good way to look at pretty pictures, because you get a lot of different stuff posted and lots of single-focus tumblrs, and people who repost a crosssection of it, so I get comic art and attractive gentlemen in suits and some webcomics and striking photos and a whole lot of GIFs. It's terrible for most other things especially having any kind of discussion, because if you follow three people who all repost the same thing you get it three times in your feed, and there's no way to have a conversation except to keep reposting the same thing with an extra comment at the end, and so that aspect of it drives me nuts. But with some careful choosing of who to follow and the 'tumblr savior' chrome extension, which lets me block by keyword and make it a teen wolf-free zone, I'm quite enjoying it.

If you want to follow a single tumblr you can just follow the RSS feed.

I tend to think of it like Livejournal, except without the comments.

You can post a picture. Or some text. Or a video.

And then your friends can scroll past going "Ooooooh".

But not have a conversation about it.
