In
2007, David Karp CEO invented Tumblr, another blogging site at the time. He
didn’t like at the time that all the blogs were the same and he wanted
something different, something unique.
Karp
wanted a blog where he and other bloggers can express themselves and he didn’t
see that quality in Wordpress, Blogger, and TypePad. He explain that those
website were only for writing, since being not much of a writer, he created
Tumblr were you can post and share texts, photos, quotes, links, chat boxes and
videos.
Tumblr
is different than Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and including MySpace, it’s not
just a social media account where you can meet new people, it’s originally you
expressing yourself.
You
can also follow people and reblog from them.
Reblogging is offered in Tumblr if you see a post you like; you press a
square button that looks along the line like a refresh slash recycle sign.
Tumblr
reached its fame in 2012, word was spreading that a group of Hipsters were
posting amazing photography. From there Now 25,000 people are signing up and
creating their own blog. And it all started with just a post.
On
Tumblr, it’s just like high school with different cliques, or I should say
“Fandom.” Examples like the One Direction fandom on the band’s side where
groupies have this dedicated blog for the band or into more detail, a boy from
the band. It’s not just music either, it could be books, movies, TV shows,
youtubers, and you get my point. You can even follower blogs that also related
to your blog theme too.
In
the search bar, you can search on what you heart desire, as long as someone
else also searched that same topic or tagged too. Just be careful on what you
search too since Tumblr is not a considered place where the ages under 18 can
look at.
At
Granite Hills High School, students and staff are not allowed without granted
permission to go Tumblr since the school categorized
it as porn. I have be
submitting reviews on which Tumblr is not just about that. In 2007, David Karp

just about that one topic, if you look more into Tumblr, you see a place where
people get along and help each other. Tumblers, what they like to be called,
are actually caring people. It also depends on who you are flowering and if they
treat you and your blog the same respect as you treat them.
Now once you open your dash, another word
for main page on Tumblr, you will see photos, gifs, videos, quotes, photos with
words, stories, etc...These are posted and/or reblogged from blogs that you
follow. You can reblogged or click the heart shaped button which it's just a
'like' button.
A Tumblr blog can be used for business,
personal, friendly reason. I personally like it because I use Tumblr as if was
my key to escaping the world. I can go on their meet new people, laugh my guts
out at some of the funniest post or if it's dramatic, some tears will be shed
here and there. I follow blogs who write stories about famous boys or what they
are now called "Fan fiction." Seems very childish of me, but that's
another thing I like about Tumblr. You can be yourself and no can judge you or
hold it against you. So what are you waiting for a get started now, all you
have to do is just click a button and with seconds you're seeing a brand new
world.
