The ability to “love” and “reblog

[gafimiv406]

other peoples’ posts gives your blog a ton of exposure and engagement. This feature isturkey whatsapp number database implemented in other platforms, however it’s wildly poplar among Tumblr users. Some people even create Tumblr accounts, not to blog, but to simply follow others. In this regard, Tumblr takes on a Pinterest persona (or did Pinterest take on Tumblr’s persona?), in that users “collect” images and/or posts.
Cons:

Tumblr is highly popular among youth, and according to comScore, half of Tumblr’s traffic comes from those under the age of 25 – This isn’t necessarily a con, but depending on your audience, it may not be the community you’re looking to adhere to.
There are zero statistics provided about your Tumblr. However, implementing a third party system like Google Analytics is possible since you have the capability to tweak the code. This could be a pro or a con, depending on what you want/need.
Readers can’t comment on your posts. Tumblr is more about “reblogging” and “loving” posts rather than allowing comments. There is a workaround, however. Again, implementing a third-party tool such as Disqus, will fix this.
Tumblr isn’t for hefty, meaty blog posts. If you want to hone your creative writing skills, or give your readers in-depth information, Tumblr may not be your best option.
So who won the blog war? Drum roll please…That depends. In a nutshell, WordPress(.org) is great if you’re looking for complete control and customization, Blogger is an excellent platform for beginners, and Tumblr is stellar for quick bits of information, engagement and a youthful community.
