The Tumblr Story

Their tech support does not seem too good. Many months back I wrote a command-line client to post/edit/delete etc in tumblr.<p>Posting an image gave an error (using their API). I forwarded that to tech support. Weeks later i even wrote to Marco. But no reply from anyone.

I still really haven't understood in what way is tumblr different from blogspot etc. Is it just a reduced version of blogging.<p>There's no size limit. It takes photos, videos, text etc. The only thing is does easier is login (from your own client or command-line), since (IIRC) that's unencrypted (which is obviously not good, but acceptable if what you put up is just some junk notes).

"So far, Tumblr is growing, but it’s nowhere near MySpace’s 70 million users or Facebook’s 61 million or even Wordpress’ 3 to 4 million [...]"<p>Ah, how things change...

Ironically, this little NYC scene (including the author of this article) is also very incestuous and prone to logrolling.
