Tumblr, Why Can't You Embrace Search Engines?
- jawngee 18y agoWhy can't they embrace comments?
- daveambrose 18y agoFair enough. I think Tumblrs just want their fair share of search voice but we have yet to find a way to do so.
- daveambrose 18y agoAnother way to put it from the extended conversation on FriendFeed: "That's a very big reason why I decided to launch my first blog on Tumblr. It was easy, no-fills posting. "Great," I thought. But I started to notice that Tumblr was living in its own universe: folks went lived in the Dashboard and never really escaped. Post titles and dates were never really correct. It gets frustrating when you spend time to write (and not merely bookmarklet sites) and then it vanishes into thin air."
- danw 18y agoI think they chose not to include comments as a feature, and to use 'rebloging' instead. The trouble is to reblog you have to also be a tumblr user. At least you can easily add disqus comments.
