Tumblelog: So Many Posts, So Little Organization

My introduction to tumblelogs was a discussion on BlogCatalog (them, again), "Does anyone else here have a tumblelog?

I followed one of the links there, and learned that tumblelogs are like regular blogs, except that the post are in a variety of media, are short, and generally lack commentary.

So, visiting a tumblelog, you could expect to see a photo, a link, some quote, another photo, two videos, another quote, and so on. Not necessarily in that order.

I think of it as being a sort of sequential core dump of the tumblelogger's interest of the moment.

The BlogCatalog discussion starts with a very good set of links to introduce you to tumblelogs.

The only thing I'll repeat from the discussion is a link near its end (as of now), "Social Space Station," the tumblelogger's "views and reviews of all things socialable and connected." Also a collection of some (to me) fun-to-view retro science fiction images.
