I just started a tumblr.com account after being recommended by a bunch of people and I don't understand it. Is it a social networking site like facebook or just to vent thoughts? Can you make friends? I'm so awkward....

I wouldn't really call it the social networking... more like a shortest blog ever, very simple! :D Automatically helps you to upload an image, video, quote, etc. Kind of like Twitter!

it's like a blog version of myspace. but it has that facebook social connection to it.
you get my drift? |

It's a blogging service for people who don't like to write.

To me, it's like Twitter meets a traditional blog.

When people ask me what Tumblr is, I usually describe it as a blog that's not really meant for long written posts. It's really a place to post things you find cool and want to share. I think it's very much like the "link" application on Facebook, but it's open to everyone and they can share them around too.

As Arjuna said, it's blogging for the lazy/those short on free time. |

it took me awhile to understand how to use tumblr itself. now, i'm hooked. shit.
it's an easy way to blog something short and sweet, and at many times, impersonal. |

I miss those days, not so long ago, when tumblr was free from myspace/Twitter/xanga whores. Yeah, great way to vent because the Internet should care about your well-being.

I've noticed an increase in angsty Tumblr users since I made mine in 2008, but I just avoid those tumblelogs and follow ones free of complaints. |
