Blog becomes more popular in 1999 in which some
hosted blog tools been released. Bruce Ableson launched Open Diary in October
1998, which soon grew to thousands of online diaries. It innovated the reader
comment, becoming the first blog community where readers could add comments to
other writer’s blog entries. In March 1999, LiveJournal was released by Brad
Fitzpatrick. Then, Andrew Smales created Pitas.com in July 1999 as an easier
alternative to maintaining a “news page” on a Web site, followed by Diaryland
in September 1999. And the most popular one is Blogger.com which launched by
Evan Williams and Meg Hourihan (Pyra Labs) in August 1999 then was purchased by
Google in February 2003.
As time goes by in the popularity of blog,
the we came to the “microblog” which is the instant form of blog. The examples
of microblog are Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. Microblog is created for those
who don’t have enough time to maintaining words, photos, sounds, and video in a
post of blog but still have intention to share with other people in virtual. In
this post I will share about Tumblr.
Tumblr is one of easy microblogging. It was created in 2007 by David Krap.
Tumblr divides some features in one instant post. We can post anything like Text, Audio, Video etc.
Just like Twitter, Tumblr also provides us to "reblog" which means posts other people posting to our site.
Tags feature makes us easier to find specific topic such as Photography or Comics.
