Hi, thanks for your post. I full understand it. Tumblr is super powerful and very simple, we like them and they influence us. But tumblr's focus is different; they cover all kinds of blogging. Posting a link on Tumblr isn't as easy as posting a link on Howl, try it. We use services like Embedly to embed things right on the page. Theres less clicks in the process. On Tumblr, every blog is really its OWN blog. We prefer the standardized look (Facebook vs Myspace) which lets the focus fall on the content. As for incentivizing comments, one of the cool things about a feature we have planned (unified discussion) is that you kind of automatically link to the discussion page along with everyone else on the network. So anything you post might already have a discussion going. Thanks for your opinion, much appreciated
