Tumblr?

Okay, so I am sure you are all very tired of seeing posts by people going, "Who is Tumblr? What is she, that all our fans commend her?" But! I have a question, brought on by [livejournal.com profile] thehoyden, who is, it goes without saying, a terrible person. And so, yes, this is another How Does Tumblr post. Sorry.

See, I have always rejected Tumblr as Not for Me, because walls of text are not welcome there, and I am an entirely text-based creature. And I will probably always be a more or less passive Tumblr user, but - I was considering posting, like, shorter, single-thing recs there. For recs that will never fit in a set! Or whatever! It would still be all text, though. Is that a thing I should do? OPINE AT ME, Tumblr denizens! Assuming any of you still read this text-based medium.

Personally, I would prefer to read your recs here on DW. I have a Tumblr (a week old or so) but I much prefer it for images and low-text-content stuff.

I'm not a fan of reading text on it, not least because you can't comment or reply to it -- and isn't that part of the fun when it comes to recs? Or fanfic, for that matter, which people also post there for reasons that baffle me.

Also, I know you have the set-of-recs format and all, but I can't imagine anyone is going to point fingers and say You Are Not Following Your Self-Devised Format if you were to break away from it whenever you felt like it for single recs and whatnot. :-)
