(1-14 of 14)Great way to start conversations, but the limited feature set and scope hampers its impact.
- Simple microblogging platform that is easy to use.
- Easy to follow and share your own content.
- Wide variety of content for users to link to and respond to.
- Better filters to limit offensive or not safe for work content.
- More options for responding to posts.
- More robust privacy options to cater to a wider variety of users and needs.
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.
Awesome tool for tumbling flow of publications
- Displaying structured information
- Providing multiple formatting tools
- Selection of templates
- Page layout cannot be fully altered
- Display formats need to be chosen from the templates
- There are no sorting options
Tumblr doesn't work very well if you want to categorize your information in multiple sections on the same page.
Tumblr for days
- Very user friendly
- Easy set-up and account management
- Very personalization friendly
- No cons really
Out for a Tumblr
- Tagging posts - You can experiment with tags to get views and to organize your own posts for later review.
- Variety of post options - You can upload a good variety of media (text, image, sound, video, links) and set them to post on a schedule or immediately. This gives you some flexibility when scheduling online campaigns or keeping up with followers.
- Connecting communities - Tumblr is an informal network with a lot of followers, so it's a great platform for reaching out to youths and starting discussions. Many of the circles on this site involve information about news, culture, and activism while others serve as support groups or fanbases.
- Trigger tags should be a thing - Many people on tumblr are vulnerable to certain content, and it can be hard to avoid it. Maybe some of these tags would help restrict content.
- An in-line gif creator would be pretty cool.
- Verify celebrity accounts. I haven't looked for one in a while, but I remember that being a concern.
Tumblr - Stacking up against other social media
- Tumblr is a great option for visual blogging and other posts with minimal texts.
- Users tend to post interesting and catchy posts that even goes beyond the boundaries of Tumblr and into other social media.
- Tumblr is free and can be used even by beginners. The user interface is very easy to learn and interact.
- Tumblr can improve by providing users with more customization options for their posts.
- It cannot be used as a complete alternative to other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
- Google photos and Facebook helps users improve their photos by showing filter suggestions or auto toning. Tumblr currently doesn't have this option and would be a great addition to it.
- Tumblr's demographics may serve some businesses very well.
- We notice a higher rate of engagement with content shared on Tumblr vs. other leading social media.
- It's very easy to build a Tumblr following (and typically quicker than Facebook).
- Tumblr doesn't provide detailed engagement statistics (other than interactions over a predefined set of date ranges).
- Reblogging items from another Tumblr blog is cumbersome and results in multiple page redirects/refreshes.
- Tumblr's design and feature development is not well organized. These changes introduce variables that must be explained when reporting on KPIs.
Tumblr is Trustworthy
- The ability to follow blogs that deal with very specific topics and POV is very useful, as they are generally well written and highly on point.
- Being able to use a visual example within a "digital community" to say "is this what you mean?" is priceless.
- When a team is "word smithing" something, such as a mission statement, using examples from Tumblr is very effective.
- The search function could be more robust and detailed.
- I personally like the randomized visual layout of examples, but some team members found it to be annoying.
- The "recommended for you" feature rarely makes a lot of sense to me...

Tumble into Tumblr
- Tumblr is very accessible as a download for cell phones.
- It's free to use.
- It allows for employees who might not otherwise have the opportunity to express creativity at work to do so for the benefit of your business.
- 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.
Tumblr - worth a try!
- I found Tumblr to be user friendly and quick to pick up.
- Tumblr has a very helpful scheduling tool which allows you to create posts and schedule them for later dates and times. You can edit posts that are scheduled as well.
- I really liked the ability to easily edit a post after it had already been posted.
- The scheduling aspect is nice, but it would be better if you could choose a specific date and time rather than a block of time.
- Sometimes I had issues when I would add a hyperlink.
Tumblr makes it easy to blog in real time
- Visually appealing: given that Tumblr is primarily a photo blog - although it has grown into so much more than that - there is an element of attractiveness and consistency to Tumblr. There are templates that you can use when creating your posts, like any user-friendly web tool, and I feel these are helpful in keeping that clean visual consistency.
- Flexible: it may seem like a small thing, but Tumblr allows you to easily schedule or queue your blogs for future posting. You are able to schedule these posts in such an intuitive way (by typing, for example, "tomorrow, 9 AM" instead of "Thursday, 3/20, at 9:00 AM"), and ensure that your writing is being disseminated in exactly the way you choose.
- At times, using Tumblr to post various media can feel a bit clumsy. There are some kinks that could be worked out in terms of how pictures are uploaded or copied over from another website, but I don't feel that this ever hinders my use of the tool.
I'm Head Over Heels for Tumblr
- Tumblr integrates with other platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. This helps increase the reach of a piece of content.
- Tumblr is easy to set up and use.
- Tumblr is easily customizable.
- Tumblr has a great mobile app for on-the-go publishing.
- Tumblr has several free themes that suit many different types of publishing needs.
- Tumblr doesn't pull the image thumbnail directly from a link, so the user has to manually input an image link as well when publishing a link post.
- Some of Tumblr's themes have functionality issues (for instance, the tweets widget may not always work in some themes).
- Tumblr does not support ads.
Tumblr for You!
- Intuitive ease of use. It was easy to set up and get the account running immediately.
- Simplicity. Adding text, pictures and video was easy.
- Look & Feel. For the low maintenance approach we were aiming for, we were surprised that the site actually looked pretty slick.
- Themes. Not a lot to choose from. I guess when it's free, you can't expect a lot of variety.
- Videos. Occasionally, a video would take a long time to load or play.
