A tumblelog (or tlog) is a variation of a blog that favors short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated with blogging. Common post formats found on tumblelogs include links, photos, quotes, dialogues, and video. Unlike blogs, tumblelogs are frequently used to share the author’s creations, discoveries, or experiences while providing little or no commentary.
Yesterday, I had an account from tumblr. It’s very easy to use, there is not any complicated navigation, and it’s not desiged like a newspaper column. I think, what makes Tumblelog important is, its convenience to use with mobile devices, such as with Blackberry and Iphone. You can easily post interesting stuff that you find.
A simple analogy is like that: If blogs are journals, tumblelogs are scrapbooks.
