Tumblr Lessons

Things learned:

  • Posting about your follower count is an unpardonable sin, and it will really offend people who probably have a lower one than you do.
  • Posting explicit pornography or perversion squicks people out.  “Erotic photography” is A-OK, however.
  • Attempts to craft your own amusing images will not be appreciated as much as a Harry Potter joke that’s been around the Internet a dozen times.
  • All men on Tumblr are creepy perverts; the women are all filthy floozies.
  • The odds of Tumblr going down are directly proportional to how badly you want to post something hilarious.
  • Tumblr loves talking about itself.
  • Tumblr has been discovered by Facebook/MySpace jerkoffs who are doing their noble best to ruin the vibe here.  This is an essential part of a social network’s life cycle.
  • This will probably get more notes than anything I’ve posted all week.
