I feel a mild uneasiness in the force, as if millions of people discovered blogging via a great new interface, then gradually got bored with or forgot about it

I feel a mild uneasiness in the force, as if millions of people discovered blogging via a great new interface, then gradually got bored with or forgot about it just as they did the first time they tried it 8 years ago.
- Alex3917 16y agoThe reason most people stop blogging is because no one is reading what they write. So they don't get any feedback, they aren't part of the conversation, their writing doesn't get better over time, etc. Tumblr solves this problem. It's essentially like taking the best of Kuro5hin (c. 2005) and Typepad, without the major problems inherent in both of those communities. It's not just a new blog platform, it's a completely different form of communication.
