Tumblr, Making Blogging Easy
Tumblr is a free, simplified blogging service that facilitates the creation of Tumblelogs (popular examples include Projectionist & Anarchaia), which are essentially streamlined versions of standard blogs.
Tumblr is great if you want to setup a quick and easy link blog or photo blog. You can even have Tumblr import RSS feeds that automatically post to your blog, as well as mapping your own domain to a Tumblr blog if you want.
Launched in February, Tumblr is one of the services created by the New York based company Davidville. See the Tumblr blog for the latest news and developments.
Gina Trapani (who’s Tumblr blog is Scribbling.net) has a great write-up on Tumblr over on Lifehacker.
Eric Rice calls Tumblr a “hybrid site between twitter and wordpress” and Jason Schupp says “What’s old is new again”. One thing is for sure, Tumblr part a whole new wave of services that are helping people get back to the basics of blogging.

On one side of the scale, you have blogging platforms such as Wordpress, Blogger, and Typepad. On the extreme opposite you have flow apps aka microblogs such as Twitter and Jaiku. Somewhere in the middle are tumblelogs and Tumblr fits right in....
