For all the emphatic No-ers... if you enjoy the Hotlink thread, the Gif thread or the Good God Almighty thread, then tumblr may be for you.

QFT. The Off Topic forum is basically Tumblr plus "The Ignore Thread".

Pinterest is the Anti-Christ. If your wife is on Pinterest, you know what I'm talking about. There you are, laying in bed, trying to put the moves on her, but she's got that damn laptop sitting on her lap looking at all the pretty pictures of recipes, home furninshings made of scrap pallets, etc. You say, "wanna fool around?" She says, "when I'm finished, gimme a few minutes." You wait for HOURS, then fall asleep, frustrated.

I hate Pinterest...

(a) laptops shouldn't come to bed, and (b) morning sex is awesome.

QFT. The Off Topic forum is basically Tumblr plus "The Ignore Thread".

If that is already here, why go there?

If the Fiesta is already there, why buy a Taurus?

(The comparison there was supposed to be that the Off Topic Forum is maybe 0.001% the size of Tumblr at best.)

yes, but here, the rate of picture posting is reasonable. If tumblr is 10k more picutre posts than the hot link thread, it would be overwhelming. And is, as far as I'm concerned.

It's more like.... 10,000,000x the posts. But it's indexed, and you search for what you want. It's not really a force fed stream of pictures, it's more a conglomerate of picture-based blogs.

The rate that your "feed" comes across is directly related to how many "blogs" you subscribe to.

Anyways, i suppose if you don't like it, you don't like it.

No, no, hell no, triple no and no once more. It's hard enough trying to avoid FB when half the world seems to have given up non work e-mail in favor of it, don't encourage any more.

No to both. But asking your current audience about ways to gather more market share may not be the best way to go about things. If grm is lookin to communicate with its current customers better than this is ok, but if you are looking for new customers this is probably not the proper polling method.

Holy run on sentence
