Hey folks, Carlton here with a quick audio message on Tumblr. I was reading up on Tumblr on the Mashable website, and had to check it out. When I got there, I noticed that I already had an account! But I just don’t “get it”. I need people to post me up and tell me what it is that attracts them to Tumblr, and what the benefits are. Get at me people!

Hey, Carlton, Rod here, I’ve got a tumblr and I use it strictly for personal reasons. I kind of felt the way you did when I signed up, but what I’ve noticed is it’s really designed to be a extremely simple blogging platform. I run The Success Center which is my blog-a-zine for inspiring, empowering, and equipping entrepreneurs for success. And there were other things that I wanted to share with people that I just couldn’t there. Like, the movies that I’m looking forward to, games that I want to play, poems that I think are cool, and some awesome pictures and video that I find on the web.
That’s really the magic of the platform, it allows you to share whatever you want wherever you want. There are some wonderful mobile, web, and desktop applications that make it easy for you to add pretty much anything to your tumblog. So, there you go. It’s not wordpress, no add-ons, you can use html, but that’s it.
