    Tumblr can be complicated when it comes to using it in a work setting. With the privacy options being somewhat limited, you will want to make sure that your staff are only sharing information that they are comfortable with in the public realm. You'll need to put some effort into designing an appropriate policy that covers the use of Tumblr and what content can be shared. If you're simply finding a way to engage staff and perhaps show outsiders what it is like to work at your organization, it can be used quite effectively, but you have to be mindful of how involved it gets.

    I've had nothing but positive experiences with Vercel, and while their business offering is great, it's also worth touching on their free plan. Their free plan allows me to tinker with web development in my free time without having to worry about paying for a costly linux box. I just link a GitHub repository and it's done!

    Cons
    Tumblr
    • It can be hard to get followers, similar to Twitter.
    • Also similar to Twitter, its possible to get followers that are in no way interested in your business and seeking to promote themselves.
    • If you want to use Tumblr to promote your products online, it can be a trial and error process that can be frustrating for businesses that have little experience with photography.

    Because of its ease of use - both on desktop and mobile - and the perks of being able to schedule a post for future release, Tumblr is a tool that we plan to continue using in the long term. Despite feeling like a primairly one-sided tool, it can also start conversations online, which is something for which we are always striving.

    Tumblr is an easy to use tool. If you're looking for a simple platform that isn't complicated Tumblr works well. There are even ways to embed it to a company website.

    Vercel's good usability and developer experience make me happy to visit their website when I need to configure my deployments. It's very easy to navigate, configure, and manage my projects, and the developer experience is so seamless that I don't have to think much when I push changes to git.

    Tumblr turns out to be better than Facebook Pages as it allows the pages to be in the form of customizable templates. It doesn't conform to specific rules for publications beyond the provided templates. Compared to WordPress, Tumblr is much simpler to use. It doesn't require any page management skills.

    Vercel beats Heroku and DigitalOcean by a mile with pricing. Since Vercel uses serverless infrastructure, we don't pay for servers that don't get used, which is great for smaller platforms. Vercel Support is also very quick to respond, unlike DigitalOcean who took a while to get back to me after they didn't honor platform credits they sent me.

    Return on Investment
    Tumblr
    • Tumblr has helped me meet new people with similar interests.
    • I used it for development blog postings for a game we worked on in college.
    • N/A- Not really business oriented beyond linking to pages, but I don't have one of those businesses. I've just seen people use it for that.
