Why I’m here
Not in the “Meaning of life” sense, but why Tumblr.
Well, as of late Facebook has been increasingly declining in both customer satisfaction and user friendliness; with it’s ever-changing Security Policies trying to use people’s information for commercial gain, combined with the sheer amount of annoying spam posts from “[moron] has found a Sheep on their Farm” or “[dumbass] has made too many chips in Cafe World”, not to mention the fact that half my updates fail to post or dissapear when I log out.
Which is a shame, as when Facebook started it was a clean, simple, professional-looking approach to social interaction online, and as such was a welcome break for those of us who wanted to be electronically social but were sick of seeing MySpace, Bebo, Xuqa and countless other sites that offered little more than page after page of glittery graphics and banner ads.
But, like everything, it inevitably reaches a decline, and the once dedicated users jump ship to find greener pastures - Tumblr came into my horizon view, and it certainly looks green to me.
At least until I change the profile colour scheme, anyway.
