Last Sunday evening something possessed me to take a break from blogging on this blog to try collecting my thoughts and finds exclusively on my Tumblelog.

How did I find it?

In short: It was exciting, liberating, and great fun. But its lack of structure makes it a hard platform to maintain a readership.

Here are a few takeaways from the experience:

• Tumblelogs are better than social bookmarking and micro-blogging (Twitter) when it comes to collecting finds because it presents you the content right away.
• Tumblelogs don’t require as much thought into creating a post which is great for “spur of the moment” opinions.
• Tumblelogs fail to tell a complete story, only serves to share information.
• Readers react less to tumblelog posts which means fewer comments.
• Tumblelogs are less conversational.
• Blogs could do with more “instant posting” features.

Conclusion: I’ll stick to this blog, but I’ll try to blog like a tumblelog whenever it makes sense.
