I feel almost bad creating an “emotionless” link to this post, but whatever.
Prashanth makes good points, and I really do think it’s the biggest problem with tumblelogging: it’s basically del.icio.us with a feeling of authorship, but so many tumblelogs don’t take authorship seriously, and add nothing meaningful or thoughtful to the content that they post and don’t own.
It’s a paradox because uninteresting assholes are blogging easier, but genuinely interesting people who normally wouldn’t have time to blog are tumblelogging.
I think we can take a 70s sitcom’s wisdom: you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have. The facts of life.
