I’d been on Blogger for a while and it was pretty easy to ignore Tumblr just as easy as it was any other blogging platform that had come along.  Just recently, my friend Monika tweeted about it, and I thought I’d just go and check it out, again; expecting another glossy representation of stagnant innovation.

Flawless integration with Facebook & Twitter?  Audio Blogging?  Seamless support with a multitude of other services?  I’m seriously impressed.  So, why not start off the year by switching over to Tumblr?

Unfortunately, Tumblr doesn’t have a very good system for importing a blog from another platform.  There is a hack out there to do it for you, but I kept getting an error about halfway through, so I gave up on that.

But I really like it, now.  I like it A LOT!  I could just keep using Blogger and hope Tumblr implements a system to import from my blog from there; suffering in the meantime.  I could also just start posting here and, hopefully, such a system, if ever created, will be able to append and predate existing blog entries.  Yeah, I think I’m going with the latter on this.  Besides, I’d messed around with integrating a third-party audio blogging system in my Blogger and that is just a damn headache.  Tumblr has native support for it!  I’d be retarded not to switch, wouldn’t I?

So, here you have it.  Hopefully, Tumblr will continue to design seamless solutions rather than relying on a fractured, third-party, widget system to do all the work for them.  Seriously, that’s really all Blogger does.  They’ve done nothing groundbreaking, phenomenal, or original.

Thanks, Monika!
