I thought about resurrecting my Tumblr, but then I stopped..(yes, I have a tumblr)
I don't like it. I see why people do though. To me, it's mostly reblogging funny shit, pictures of interest, quotes, gifs, etc. And there are a lot of numbers involved...I hate numbers.
Numbers hurt. If you think about it, a lot of what Social networking does is expose your numbers and your statistics. (eg. number of likes or friends on Facebook, number of reblogs a post on Tumblr received, followers on Twitter, etc.). Numbers, in this case, are judgmental cues. They open a window in front of you for people to judge you, whether it's directly or in their own mind.
Not that any of that shit matters to me, I just rather not have to associate with that kind of environment, even though I do keep my Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Contradicting I guess, but it's all about whether you allow certain information to enter your thought process or not.
But in the end, Blogger seems more based on creating your own words, making up your own mind, and saying what came directly from ideas shaped inside of your head. Tumblr to me feels like you're just copying shit, relating to others' interests, and creating a collage rather than a representation of yourself.
It's cool though, I enjoyed it for some time. It's not for everybody, same way Blogger isn't.
