Early on I decided I was going to use Tumblr primarily to listen. So I consume a lot of content on Tumblr, and I reblog a lot. My Blogger blog feeds into my Tumblr stream, so I am all set. Following me on Tumblr is like following 90 people I follow, on days I visit Tumblr that is. I don't visit every day, but I have started to visit on more days than I used to.
My Tumblr experience went up one notch the day I discovered a list put together by David Noel based out of Germany. The list was populated with tech entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. I had been on a lookout for something of that sort. And after I started following people on that list, Tumblr became more fun, although I think I would like to weed out some of the people from that list by now. I don't know them, and they don't interest me much.
I end up liking many music recommendations from Fred Wilson, and I end up liking many photos that Nina shares. Those two stand out in the non text department. And the founder of Tumblr, David Karp, himself has one of the best tumblogs out there.
Blogger works just fine for me for sharing text, links, photos and videos. I think I like having to play with some code while I prepare a post at Blogger. I get a kick out of it. I think Blogger's big, blank canvass speaks to my creative instincts. Tumblr is more like, let's turn the TV on.
