What is a tumblr?

Over the past 3 days, about 10 of my friends (both virtual and real) have registered on the toggle switch , which has led me to believe that this service will soon become very popular. Despite the completely English interface, and the virtual absence of the main feature of webdvanol - comments - the service is growing by leaps and bounds. Despite this, I was surprised to find that at Habré there is not a single publication that tells plainly what Tumblr is. So what is it?




Web 3.0?
The hand does not rise to call the tumbler blog-paltformoy. Although this is probably the only existing word today, which can describe this service. But zheshek is distinguished by simplicity and the law “brevity is the sister of talent,” which everyone is so used to on Twitter. There are 7 types of “posts”: text, picture (or slideshow), quote, link (link), snippet of correspondence, audio file, video file. That is all that we usually post in blogs, only here for this there are these “types of posts” that simplify the task and offer a more beautiful solution for each type of posting.

Tvitterofilam to help?
This service is ideal for those who are actively sitting on Twitter. Tumbler, if you please, the best web extension for twitter. There is no need now to look for a service for storing pictures, videos, music and other stuff that you want to post to Twitter. Just fill it up with a toggle switch and the link will automatically appear on Twitter. But unlike Twitter (where it can be very difficult to find your post the very next day, under the influx of replays) everything is quite orderly and beautiful here. More and more often, links to a toggle switch are skipped in twi-tape, which as if tells us - “Twittermen approve!”

Pleasant trifles.

- This is the case when the developers do "as for themselves." Enough to read their blog, that would understand what love they relate to their project. And it is always felt.

- You can link your blog to your own domain (or subdomain). For example you can find me here: http://t.alta1r.ru .

- Tumbler - the perfect solution for corporate blogs . The solution is much more functional than Twitter (but still less populated). For an example, check out the SciFi Sofa developer blog (an analogue of turfilm, with a focus on the TV series on fantastic subjects) - http://divan.scifisofa.com/ .

- I fell in love with a toggle switch from one single theme of design (you can see it with me). It's like an iPhone - until you hit it you won't understand. In addition to this, there are about 20 pre-installed themes for different tastes, none of which is similar to a regular blog. And more than 100 themes in this blog , installed using CSS.

- Ability to connect any statistics collector (Google Analytics, Yandex.Metrica, Live- just ... Lord- Internet) and admire your attendance.

- Photosets (slideshow). Ability to make a slideshow of photos in a couple of clicks. God, save Tumblr, for this feature! Also for photographers have the opportunity to post High-res.

And many, many good things. Perhaps this project is the first step in the era of webtrinol. Or maybe it's just a great site.
