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.

What you said!

For the recs, however, I'd rather see them here. tumblr is so very... post-textual.

(Gif sets, on the other hand, are developing into an entire artform of their own, which makes me think that tumblr may actually benefit fannish creators.)

the art of the gif set is one I love, and I'm glad that tumblr makes a good platform for it.

I'm also really happy that DW is taking the first steps to image hosting.
