The Scrapbook 2.0 - Tumblr

The online communication and sharing has taken a new form - tumblelog. Tumblelog is used to share projects, creation or experience without providing a commentary. It is short, and includes video, pictures, links.It is just a neat and quick way of publishing and sharing your works. It makes me think about a scrapbook - it is scrapbook 2.0.

Tumblr is friendly, free, and terrifically easy tool for creating tumblelogs. I browsed a couple of them ad they are so cute and so inviting!

I think tumblr delivers what most of us need: easy tools for sharing and manageable, clear information. While blogs is more information, tumblelogs are more experience...
