(s)tumbling to failure.

I’m pretty sure I don’t get this tumblr thing. But then, walled garden blog environments have always felt a little odd to me.

Well, one approach is this: http://www.rinich.com/post/358597818/i-love-walled-gardens

But what I’d really say is that Tumblr is no more a walled garden than Twitter. Indeed, I see Tumblr as multi-media long-form Twitter: reblogs = retweets; likes = favorites; the follow, following structure is the same; etc.

Combine the similarities to Twitter with the fact that the people I like to follow most on Twitter have also taken up residence in Tumblr…well, there’s a reason they’re called “social networks”, right?
