♥♥ Tumblr

I have to confess that I'm intrigued by Tumblr’s declaration of ♥♥ for their users and ♥♥ for their investors. The company genuinely seems to enjoy what they do which is the recipe for a dream job. Most of us can recite the adage "do what you love.....follow your passion...."  and if you can earn a living too that's the cherry on top.

The first thing that I noticed about Tumblr's site is that it's contemporary, high-end glossy, and not too flashy. But most of all it's not crowded with stuff, even the 30 reasons why everyone ♥♥'s Tumblr was easy to browse and a concise read. I had to laugh out loud when I clicked the Zootool link and a note read “sorry Zootool doesn’t support Internet Explorer and probably never will……” easy to infer why. Is this their way of also streamlining to get their target demographic? I would guess their demo is 20's, 30's, 40's. When I checked out their company photo it was a quirky pix of 20 somethings and their chi exudes from the photo.

Tumblr does have a good variety of Third Party applications which interests me because I'm a one-stop-shopping person. I don't want to open multiple accounts nor have to track them, so the option to connect applications and retrieve information from a single place is highly appealing. I found their "how to" page easy to follow even the setup to add Google Analytics to your web page was easy, there are screen-shots and specific details. Yes, it is easy to setup an account, there are also a good number of fun themes to chose from and lots of flexibility for tailoring your page style. 

I don't feel that I'm a band-wagon person, so I can say that the declaration of I ♥♥ Tumblr would be reciprocal; because Tumblr is easy to ♥.  ♥♥Ramona
