You're absolutely right that Tumblr is sexy. In fact, that's why I prefer it over Posterous. That being said, I'd be curious to see how many of these blogs are abandoned within a week, or even a few months?
I know that I have 10 Tumblr blogs, each of which I forget about after a few weeks, and I'm a tech-geek.
I love the simplicity of Tumblr, and it's a great service, but I just don't see how they can come out ahead unless they get better at monetizing. I get that they aren't focused on it, but shouldn't they get some practice?
- rorymarinich 16y agoMy bet? Probably most of them. But that's only because almost every service is abandoned by most of its initial users. I set up a site once where literally the instant you made an account you were adding content; you typed your name, hit enter, and then filled out a profile field. Still this led to a great deal of blank profiles. Probably if their goal is to make a load of money they should start figuring things out. I don't know if that's their priority, though; they seem to enjoy being Internet superstars. Hopefully they'll hit on a wonderful profit plan, but really, no hurry. Plenty of companies have spent excessively long times getting profitable but they've pulled through anyway.
