Above all else, the fact that Tumblr is free helps. However, I would only use it as a supplementary tool and not the sole tool. We have ultimately settled on MS Teams as the overall platform with potential Tumblr use up in the air in the future. If you're thinking of finding a …

Tumblr turns out to be better than Facebook Pages as it allows the pages to be in the form of customizable templates. It doesn't conform to specific rules for publications beyond the provided templates.

Compared to Wordpress, Tumblr is much simpler to use. It doesn't require any …

I prefer Tumblr to Blogger, given that Tumblr is easier to use. It is also easier to connect with other users via tumblr.

Tumblr has an incredibly user-friendly interface for both web and phone so it's idea for posting and reviewing online content. It also has a much larger community, though some of them are a bit too much for me. Thankfully, by choosing who you follow and pursuing tags, you can …

Tumblr is a light-weight alternative to Instagram if the user does not prefer using filters or editing the images too much. Twitter however, has better features compared to Tumblr and a higher user base, but posts on Twitter are short-lived as people tend to move on after a …

When it comes to usage statistics of Tumblr's demographic, it's noticeably more active when it comes to sharing content when compared to other leading social networks. So, while Tumblr isn't selected for every implementation, it can be a useful tool for companies that target …

Tumblr was chosen because it looks cleaner and didn't come off as clunky.

I've used other sites such as Wordpress, but tumblr provides a better set up for visuals and it's not difficult to use.

The photographic focus of Tumblr is far more eye-catching when compared with the distractions of Facebook and Twitter. There is less competition for the ability to showcase high quality photos of products on Tumblr when compared with Instagram. Additionally, Instagram seems to …

Tumblr is different from Concrete5 or WordPress as it isn't a blog directly embedded into a website. Tumblr is definitely more user friendly than Concrete5 as is WordPress. Tumblr allows for more creativity than Concrete5.

Again, it depends on the marketing objectives and content the user wants to publish. Blogger is a great platform, as is WordPress, but they are more suited for longer form content. They also facilitate discussion better than Tumblr. I don't use Tumblr instead of everything …

Tumblr was quick and easy to use and required very little set up time. When setting up the Word Press account to try it out, it was clear it was much more time consuming to get up and running. Blogger just didn't have a look we cared for.

Tumblr is very suitable for presentation of free flow information. This includes creating blogs for specific topics or a stream of stories. It is also good for displaying a selection of photos. Tumblr doesn't work very well if you want to categorize your information in multiple sections on the same page.

Pros

  • Intuitive ease of use. It was easy to set up and get the account running immediately.
  • Simplicity. Adding text, pictures and video was easy.
  • Look & Feel. For the low maintenance approach we were aiming for, we were surprised that the site actually looked pretty slick.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Trigger tags should be a thing - Many people on tumblr are vulnerable to certain content, and it can be hard to avoid it. Maybe some of these tags would help restrict content.
  • An in-line gif creator would be pretty cool.
  • Verify celebrity accounts. I haven't looked for one in a while, but I remember that being a concern.

Because of its ease of use - both on desktop and mobile - and the perks of being able to schedule a post for future release, Tumblr is a tool that we plan to continue using in the long term. Despite feeling like a primairly one-sided tool, it can also start conversations online, which is something for which we are always striving.

Tumblr is an easy to use tool. If you're looking for a simple platform that isn't complicated Tumblr works well. There are even ways to embed it to a company website.

Above all else, the fact that Tumblr is free helps. However, I would only use it as a supplementary tool and not the sole tool. We have ultimately settled on MS Teams as the overall platform with potential Tumblr use up in the air in the future. If you're thinking of finding a platform to generate easy discussion and perhaps show others what it's like at your organization, it's worth giving Tumblr a shot. Ultimately, though, Tumblr is not well suited as a full scale communication platform (not that it's trying to be that, anyway).
