Tumblr is certainly popular but it always reminded me of LiveJournal:  a sort of simplified blog-lite with the ability to comment or follow pages&#x2F;people that you like.  For the blogger, there&#x27;s the ability to go as simple as just posting links and images or customize your layout to some degree.<p>The thing that always struck me when I looked through tumblr is that essentially all of the &quot;comments&quot; are just the equivalent of likes or retweets and less actual comment threads.  Always seemed like sort of a waste but I guess people use it more like a &quot;richer&quot; version of Twitter without the character limit and with easier embedding of media.
