Add me to the chorus who thinks Tumblr is a lousy place for discussion.

To a certain extent i just don't get Tumblr. And it wounds me to say that! I've been on the internet for a long time and much of the technologies make intuitive sense to me (i <3 Twitter). On the other hand, i've been on the internet a long time and i guess it was bound to happen that i'd officially hit Internet Oldster status and find myself saying, "I just don't get it."

Maybe it's just that stuff i'm inclined to post to Tumblr is also stuff i might want to find again later and so i'd rather just post it to my blog, which is how i archive myself on the internet (to the extent that i was thinking of leaving Twitter until i found a plugin that works to import my tweets the way i want). And if you're not on Tumblr it's hard to keep up with Tumblr, because Tumblr is the best way to see that other Tumblrs you follow have been updated, tho' i suppose i could just subscribe to everyone's Tumblr RSS feeds.
