What is Tumblr? Tumblr is a website that is a cross between the microblogging of Twitter and the social networking websites such as Facebook. Users who sign up can view other people’s blogs, create their own posts, follow other bloggers, ask or answer questions, send messages, and like or reblog other people’s posts. You cannot view Tumblr without being registered or signed in, but it is a very entertaining and interactive website worth checking out! Here is how you can get started.
