Tumblr: A Social Media Site Just For YOu

Sometimes it’s nice to get away from the social media sites that all of your friends and family are part of. What if there was a social media site that allowed you to express yourself, your likes and dislikes without worrying about offending those sensitive sally’s on your other accounts.  Well Tumblr (https://www.tumblr.com/) is a place where you can freely express and create your own personal sanctuary; a place to escape. They don’t require you to put any personal information on your page, nothing that people can look you up by: name, email, phone number, etc.  Adding your personal information is totally optional.  Tumblr is a site that you can access from your computer or any smart device.  By downloading the app you can Tumbl from your smart phone, tablet, iphone, or ipad.  Tumblr is similar to other social media sites in the sense that you can follow people and others can follow your page as well.  Tumblr allows you to follow not only people but blogs about the thing that interest you.  There can be many blogs about the same topic but you can choose which one of these blogs you relate/ interest you the most and follow that particular one.  Some are daily bloggers, weekly, monthly or occasionally.  The sky is the limit with Tumblr.  It allows you to blog, microblog, post and reblog pictures, videos, and other’s blog posts.  If you enjoy poetry or writing you can post your work onto your blog.  You don’t have to follow anyone on Tumblr it can be a place to write, vent, and look up things that are of interest to you.  I enjoy Tumblr it gives me the option of having personal ties to the people I follow and who follow me. None of my followers do I actually personally know but they enjoy my blog and the things that Ipost and there is no judgement.  I see Tumblr as a judge free zone.  It’s a collection of thousands of bloggers blogging about the thing that they love.
