Don’t Want to Run a Blog? Try Microblogging.

Oct 18, 2011 by Linda Anderson

More than 30 million people are doing it, and more are doing it everyday. Microblogging, that is, on Tumblr – a combination of a short-form blog + social media application that makes it fun and easy to post and share your ideas, inspiring or funny images, and especially, link up with other Tumblr bloggers…and share their content! In fact, it’s so easy and ideal for sharing (“reblogging”), that it’s become more popular than WordPress (what we use for MidChix.com), another hugely popular and feature-rich blogging platform. Pinterest.com, a fun and addictive website I wrote about previously, capitalizes on the whole Tumblr reblogging trend.

Tumblr is relatively new – created in 2007 – but has caught on rapidly as an ideal form of blogging simply because of its ease of use and social media aspect. It’s currently considered the fastest-growing blogging/social media application available.
