This time the review will actually be a mini review. Why? Because I am new to Tumblr and have quite made myself at home yet. I will however offer you my opinion on what I have become familiar with. Tumblr is probably considered a full blog platform rather than a micro blog but since it offers a lot of micro blogging options I have added to this review series. Here is my pros and cons list for Tumblr.
Pros

1. Tumblr offers a very easy to setup and use blogging platform.
2. You can follow other Tumblrs on your dashboard. This feature is nice for those that want to follow what other members content.
3. You can reblog content. This feature is difficult for me to get into but I can see how others might feel it is useful.
4. Adding video and pictures is easy enough for beginners to figure out. Actually, it’s just as easy as a click of a button to add content.
5. Tumblr allows full blog posts as well as micro posts.
6. You can design your own theme or find a custom theme to dress up your Tumblelog. There are also several nice free themes available if you look in the right places.
7. You can create groups that can be about what ever topic. I haven’t quite figured out how a group would be useful in this type of setting.

Cons

1. Community. I can’t quite put my figure on it but something is missing from this blog network. All the features for blogging are nice and user friendly but it’s doesn’t offer easy networking. It is easy enough to comment on other Tumblelogs if you know where to find them.
2. There doesn’t appear to be a way to search for other Tumblelogs. I am not sure if this is because I don’t know how or if it’s is because it can not be done. Like is said, I am new to Tumblr.

I don’t find Tumblr all that useful for the Queen of Social Network Marketing Project. The main reason being, it’s lacks much of the networking features I enjoy in other sites. Tumblr is ideal for someone new to blogging and desires a quick and easy way to get one started.
This concludes this series of Social Networks You Can’t Live Without - Micro Blogging Social Networking Sites. A new series will start soon (hopefully) that will offer my opinion on other social media sites such as Digg, YouTube and Facebook as they relate to social network/media marketing.
