Questions about anything

Again, Twitter has no purpose, it's essentially one of the most POINTLESS things the internet ever produced... it's single and only purpose was an already-existing feature on both My[____] and Facebook (status updates).

And tumblr is essentially Twitter for posting pictures.

To share thoughts, jokes, information, or news, or anything, quickly and briefly.

Thank you. I understand that, but it just seems so unnecessary to me, unless there's some current event folks are updating on...

I totally agree.

No, Tumblr is not. Tumblr is like blogspot on caffeine. It's a blog with social networking type features.

I actually do have a fiction al character ask tumblr

How bout another one: I'm in 8th grade algebra, and I've been wondering...will I ever have to use this stuff ever again, or are these teachers just making us sit still for hours on end calculating equations we will likely never see again?

 

[Sgt Floyd]

That depends what kind. Algebra is useful when it comes to figuring out prices and costs and discounts for shopping, doing home repairs, building things

It looks NOTHING like a blog. It looks like Twitter, but with pics instead of tweets.

You know, I thought the EXACT same thing when I was doing algebra in high school. I mean, unless I was entering a field that incorporated mathematics into the job, why did I even need to learn that stuff?

Thank you, Sgt Floyd and D'Snowth.

I HAVE a tumblr.

It's just a lot of people don't use them as blogs. Most people use them to share pictures, but the idea of tumblr is that it is a blog format with features similar to facebook. You follow a blog and get their updates on your dashboard. Like I said though, most people do not use them as blogs. you can use them however you want really. If you want to use it as just a blog, you can do that. if you want to just post pictures, you can do that.

You tag your posts and people can search them. I really think you should try it out. You might get more hits on your puppetry videos and your artwork. Although I think you might have to follow at least three blogs to have your stuff searchable

Twitter can lead to a lot of vapid, pointless stuff, sure, but it's not the complete wasteland you make it out to be. As a sports fan, I find that most breaking stories, whether they be trades, signings, or injuries, get posted on Twitter significantly earlier than on mainstream sports websites. Twitter is good to get real-time reactions to news stories as they break.
