Great read (on the link above) on why Tumblr is different from a backend blogging platform such as Wordpress or Blogger. When I was deciding whether to have a website, blog, photoblog, etc for Ogilvy Youth, I knew that whatever it was, it had to be Tumblr. To me, Tumblr is the most visually adaptable, easy to use, and brand appropriate site out there. This article talks about why more brands aren’t jumping on the Tumblr bandwagon. I agree with some of the criticisms, especially its most recent Fashion Week blunder, but at the end of the day “it takes a certain amount of time and creative energy for a brand to figure out its content strategy for Tumblr; and that may not be something that all brands are willing to do, or that all brands are even well-suited for.” Tumblr is time intensive enough without straight ROI that it gives brands pause before jumping in, but that might be the reason it’s been so popular with consumers of the content.
