Tumblr: the best blogging tool for busy people

Stefanos Karagos | April 7, 2008

I discovered tumblelogs when I visited Tumblr.com before 5 months. I have to admit that I was not impressed at the beginning, because I didn't understood where could be useful for me.
I'm blogging the last 11 years using my Greek "fat" blog at karagos.com and always I wanted to find a tool to help me to blog more often.
I used Drupal the last 5 years [yes I'm a Drupal lover!] but the last year I'm so busy dealing with my daily duties, so I didn’t have time to update, maintenance and redesign it.
Before some days I took the decision to move to Tumblr.
Before this, I took a deep look into the Tumblr's alternative Soup.io but I discovered some lack of features in this solution.
At all this journey to find a tublelog platform I found also solutions like Gelato and Chypr. Both are PHP-MySQL solutions and you can easily install these into your web server.
I decided to select Tumblr and not a server based solution for all these reasons I mentioned for Drupal and because Tumblr give you the feature to create more tumblelogs and the same time you can invite your friends to post there, quick and easy!
So...
Into 1 day I created my Personal Start page at karagos.com and I moved my Greek blog at blog.karagos.com. Both based on Tumblr.

OK, OK Tumbler is not a panacea because is missing 2 important features [Comments and Tags*] BUT is the best of the rest!
Actually Tumblr is the best blogging system for the busy people like me. So simple…

* [comments are very easy to integrate using the Disqus commenting system and I hope that soon the Tumblr, guys, will put Tags under the hood].
