According to Google\u2019s dictionary definition, Tumblr is a blogging platform that allows users to post text, images, videos,<br \/>\nlinks, quotes and audio to their tumblelog. Users can follow other users, or<br \/>\nchoose to make their tumblelog private. Tumblr is easy to use, and above all<br \/>\naddictive! \u201cTumblr is all the people you want to meet&#8230;Facebook is all<br \/>\nthe people you wish you didn&#8217;t&#8230;\u201dsays Aleksandra Popovik, grade 11 NT student,<br \/>\nand fellow tubmlr user says.<\/p>\n<p>Tumblr. Many of you have probably heard about it, wish you hadn\u2019t heard about it because you\u2019re now addicted to it, or think you\u2019re too cool for it. The fact of the<br \/>\nmatter is, Tumblr\u2019s amazing. Even though a few of my friends tease me for<br \/>\nhaving a Tumblr account, I still love it. I\u2019ve been tumblring since the summer<br \/>\nand I must say, I\u2019m a little too addicted. &#8220;Who needs friends<br \/>\nwhen you have Tumblr?&#8221; \u2013Says grade 11 and addicted tumblr user Leah<br \/>\nFlannigan.<\/p>\n<p>Tumblr doesn\u2019t have a \u201cnews feed\u201d, \u201cfriends\u201d, \u201cchat\u201d, or \u201cprofile\u201d like Facebook. There\u2019s a dashboard, that could be compared to your news feed on facebook where pictures,<br \/>\nvideos, and\/or quotes are posted by your followers. On each piece of media (hi<br \/>\nMrs. Bulgutch), there\u2019s a \u201creblog\u201d button and a \u201clike\u201d button. If you click<br \/>\nreblog then the photo\/video\/quote is automatically up on your Tumblr. Every<br \/>\nTumblr user has a URL. This URL is the website name for your Tumblr. Instead of<br \/>\nhaving \u201cfriends\u201d in Tumblr, there are \u201cfollowers.\u201d If you\u2019d rather not reblog<br \/>\nother people\u2019s Tumblr\u2019s, dun worry, you can still post your own pictures,<br \/>\nvideos, quotes or something from another website. I suggest weheartit.com- it\u2019s<br \/>\na keeper. You can communicate with other tumblr users by sending a message,<br \/>\nwhich has the option of being anonyomous. You can ask the Tumblr user anything<br \/>\nyou want or comment on how amazing their blog is. Trust me, getting a message<br \/>\nis the greatest thing ever, they don\u2019t come very often and I cherish each and<br \/>\nevery one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Why should <em>you<\/em> get Tumblr? I got Tumblr because I<br \/>\nwas curious about what it was after seeing numerous URLs popping up on my<br \/>\nFacebook news feed regarding this innovative blogging world. I must say when I<br \/>\nfirst got Tumblr I was rattled because I had no idea how to work it, but after<br \/>\na while you get used to it. \u201cWhen I first saw Tumblr I was like what the hay- how<br \/>\ndo [you] work this? Then it became a portal into a new world comparable to<br \/>\nNarnia,\u201d said grade 11 NTer and Tumblrer Aleksandra Popovik. I do not regret one second of it; Tumblr is humorous, entertaining, and even pulls on your heart strings. \u201cI got it because everyone using it said it was amazing so I thought I should try it out&#8230; Of course I&#8217;m not a normal artsy Tumblr kid, so I made it a humor blog,\u201d said Leah Flanagan.<\/p>\n<p>To sum it up: Tumblr is positively perfect and everyone should get it. Just ask any Tumblr user and they will tell you the magic and wonder of it all! So what are you waiting for?
