lifehacker.com — A new blog format, called a "tumblelog," is a no-hassle, no-writing-required way to share interesting tidbits and maintain a personal site with the least possible commitment. A new service called Tumblr can publish your tumblelog with minimal setup and for free. Let's take a closer look at how to publish a tumblelog with Tumblr.

@geekitechture:I disagree. My reason why is given in my tumblelog spam: <a class="user" href="http://cinnix.tumblr.com/post/121022">http://cinnix.tumblr.com/post/121022</a>:)

"... but I had fallen prey to the "editorializing" bug. I felt as if every time I was to post something I was under the pressure of coming up with something worthy of a newspaper column..."I completely agree with you. I had a blog for a few years, but eventually it just got to the point where I had to invest more time than I was willing (or had) into it. Tumblr looks pretty slick to me because there are still days where I think up interesting topics where I can write on and on. There are other days, though, where I have short snippets of things that I want to put online somewhere, but don't want to/can't devote the time it would take to write out a traditional blog entry.

I have to admit, I was not anticipating this. Too bad we can't rate comments for humor here...

Although I'm not keen on the name, tumblr rocks. I've shed my blog. Now, RSS of all the places I comment or get comments (mainly Flickr) are fed to my tumblr along with random stuff I "blog" with the tumblr bookmarklet and it's on display as my blog at <a class="user" href="http://www.shawnblog.com/">http://www.shawnblog.com/</a>

It's funny, I just made the Aquarium for my own use, but I provided it as Open Source. I got a lot of feedback from people and some people really liked it. But I wasn't really happy with how The Aquarium turned out... it seemed like it needed something (more controls wasn't the answer).I found this one, and I also found Twitter. All three are basically the same. Here's a great review of "this technology" from Stan Schroeder at mashable.com: (I agree 100%. It was just an exercise and I the feedback was well worth it)"I have a confession to make. I’ve used Twitter, and I wrote about it a lot, but I never could quite understand why it’s so damn limited. Instant-blogging aside, it’s web based instant messaging - but it’s done in such an impossibly silly way - you can only send messages to everyone, and people won’t engage in conversations because they have other friends and those friends don’t want to hear your private chat. So, it’s just a bunch of mindless, one-way messages."Thanks Stan. You nailed it! Congrats. :)
