Revived!
I think it’s time to start using Tumblr again. I’m going to do my very best to minimize posting directly to Facebook over the course of the next year. I’m not planning to abandon Facebook … I’m just making it less of a focus … a lower priority.
For many, myself included, Facebook has been the default, must-use social network for quite a while. I’m planning to de-centralize my social net presence to reduce my dependence on a single platform. Let’s face it, Facebook can change the rules at any time, making the service much less appealing. Facebook could suspend or delete my account, and I may have little recourse. Facebook could simply screw up … losing everything I’ve entrusted to them.
So, going forward, I’ll be using a photo-sharing site, my own website(s), Google+ … and Tumblr … much more.
