How Tumblr Changed My Life - kamelo
by kamelo
I started a 365 project to post in Esperanto (a language I was learning) at least once a day. This started a few other individuals to do the same as well. Soon I found an entire community of Esperantists here on tumblr to follow and to read posts and get practice not only writing but reading from others. The tagged searches (which I can save) also enabled me to constantly find new...

How Tumblr Changed My Life - ninefortysix

I’m not really sure why I started using tumblr. I think it was somewhere between followng my favourite artists and being enticed by the simplicity of it. But over the past few years that I have had an account, tumblr became a part of my life, even to my own confusion of how that happened. I can’t say that I’m the most physically active blogger, but I always find...

First of all, I’d like to thank Tumblr for giving me the opportunity to share with others my thoughts, ideas and expressions. So, thank you tumblr <3 What does this “crazy” community means to me? Well, I firmly believe that the tumblr community has a huge collective of beautiful members who every now and then, impact the world somehow or another. In Puerto Rico...

Tumblr has provided me with an opportunity to create positive change that I probably never would have had the opportunity to be involved in without its existence. From the moment I joined Tumblr, I became familiar with a community of feminists and body positive activists who inspired me to create my own niche in a sea of empowerment. And as a designer, I respond strongly to...

Tumblr is not an option, but an answer to that “”other”” sharing app. Tumblr provided a simple way to share, what to me, is quintessentially inspiring - photography. After 20 years of professional video production, I’m back at the beginning where I started - photography. When I leave this place - I’ll still be sharing, and hoping that...

Tumblr has changed me in many ways, I can’t even remember my Internet life without it. Tumblr has been my place to meet new people who have the same interest as I do. I’ve meet a few new people here and there and they come from different places in the world, and it makes the world feel a little smaller. Tumblr is also my place for information. Most of the people I...

Two years ago, I was sitting in the library during finals week while one of my friends convinced me to join Tumblr. Initially engaging as a procrastinatory measure, I soon found it to be an accessible way to collect and share my interests, both personal and academic. Throughout my conscious life, I’ve always maintained an unwavering interest in History. For the vast...

As a art student I’d tried pretty much all of the blogging sites to show my work, all of which are still floating about the internet of no use to anyone because they never looked right or were too complicated to use. One day i came across an article talking about this new blogging site so i went along to the Tumblr website had a look around and signed up and I’ve never turned back....

I started using tumblr when I still lived on Mongolia. Apart from a few good friends, there is absolutely nothing going on in Mongolia, it’s basically a little bubble of boredom. Tumblr changed all that, it gave me access to an interesting, creative and beautiful world. All my friends got tumblr too, and for a while it was all we talked about. Now I live in a less secluded...

Once upon I time, I visited tumblr when it was but 8 people. I drew David some Karps, Peter some Pierre’s, Jacob some Jesus’ and a couple of other things. One of them was a gorgeous red robot with a hot body. Little did he know that he was destined to become the biggest heartthrob that had ever erupted from my 2b pencil. Anyway, now my son is all grown up and I am proud, and...

Tumblr is how I met my fiance - and we’re getting married in Aug! In 2010 I was working in Collingswood, NJ for an LGBTQ advocacy organization that was holding a rally in Trenton, NJ. I mentioned on my Tumblr that everyone who was in support should come out to Trenton and I get a reblog (this was before the askbox, lol) from a Tumblr who lived in Philadelphia who was going to be...

Tumblr has changed my life in so many ways that I can’t explain how much Tumblr is like a friend to me! Growing up, I was always bullied and never knew how to cope with it, but as I got older and did more stuff online, I found Tumblr as a unique way to showoff what I like, and that’s basically The Ready Set. I started my blog because I want to show people my...

Como o Tumblr mudou minha vida - not-perfection

Sempre tive a paixão por escrever, nunca tive um diário ou coisa do tipo, pois sempre quando tinha aquela vontade de escrever, o papel e a caneta nem sempre a satisfazia. Dai usei por um tempo um blog e tal … mas mesmo assim ainda não tinha o que eu mais precisava. Acabei largando o de lado … nesse meio tempo descobri o tumblr, ai resolvi criar, tanto que com os...
The New Gawker Commenting System
Live as of today, including a cute “Burner” option for anonymous commenting. Regardless of what you think about Nick Denton’s editorial attitudes, you discount his ambition for innovation at your peril. What strikes me as obvious in retrospect is that this new system is less about making the comments more sophisticated as it is abandoning the traditional concept of comments...

I remember my first encounters with Tumblr, seeing these neat and clean little collages of things that spoke to a person. I thought the idea of these dreamy collections was very sweet, but I didn’t join Tumblr until I decided it might be a good format in which to showcase my artwork. At first, my blog was strictly for selected artworks, and very much a photo blog with sparse...

Who has ever heard of Tumblr? Back in 2010 when I joined no one knew what Tumblr was or if I was suffering from speech impediments while trying to pronounce another word. “What’s that?” “What’s a Tumblr?” That’s alright, no one needed to know, but it’s a place that, among other things, hosted my written work. I worked out after drawing a picture and writing a landscape that it...

Last year I challenged my self to blog on 100 movies in 100 days and I chose Tumblr as my first blogging platform. It was a personal project, but as I started to get followers, feedback, and find other blogs, my creativity blossomed and I couldn’t stop writing. What began as 100 Days of Movies has continued to a full fledged movie and TV blog. Also, through Tumblr...

Tumblr has changed my life because it has made me to become a better me. The Fitblr community is so welcoming and kind, and they made me realize that I can lose my weight and I don’t have to hate my current body because I’m fine just the way I am. Tumblr gives me great ideas on recipes and workouts that I can do from the comfort of my own home. The fitblr community...
