Tumbleblogging???

without comments

Are we getting out of hand with blogging? I’ve never heard of tumbleblogging and I think I’m pretty “hip” on the newest Internet trends. 
Don’t think about it, just write

Weblogs? Been there, done that. Facebook? It’s full of kids. Twitter? That’s so 2006, darling. No, the smart thing to be doing online these days is tumblelogging, which is to weblogs what text messages are to email - short, to the point, and direct.

Tumblelogs are so named because they’re much more akin to a stream of consciousness. They represent the thoughts of the tumblelogger more or less as they happen, tumbling out of their brain, into a computer, then on to the web. Having a traditional weblog means having all the extras that go with it. A snazzy design, a searchable archive, links and widgets and comments and trackbacks and all that fluffy stuff that makes the front page of most weblogs look so busy.
