tumblr

I tried reading stuff on tumblr, but it was blinky and weird and I gave up again.
So then I put a feed from someone's tumblr on my DW.
I think I'm figuring out why there seems to be so much more talkings on tumblr. There's no comments thread. So when someone wants to reply they do it and everyone who reads them can read all the replies ever. Every comment thread at once is happening on your reading list.
Who thought that was a good idea?
Why does anyone use this thing?
but even accounting for that amplifying effect, there's still more talkings there than here, unless there's a lot of talking here I haven't found yet.

I need to find a fandom full of talking.

or possibly just start saying interesting stuff.

DItto tumblr. I will click over to see nifty images if somebody links...but soon click away because ARGH EYES ARGH.

BUt somehow lots of people seem to like it.

I dunno why.

I want to start talking more too, and hope to (school mostly done, but suffering from allergies of hell Texas and brain is still somewhat clogged up.

I don't like tumblr much
but I use it often enough
(there's a feed but not sure you'll like it)

OTOH, not like I can do reasonable conversation in any other medium. It just makes lurking easier - the nontumblr options are easier, I mean. I need to find a real fannish love.

LJ is the poor relation now. Tumblr is whoa, new and shiny! I hate it as a place for discussion. I hate twitter likewise.
I go to tumblr for the pretty, but have never ever commented on anything and probably never will.
